Ratcliffe will assume control of sporting activities upon the approval of his £1.3 billion deal. He is anticipated to acquire a minority stake in the club. Ten Hag has been steering United through a challenging start to the season, yet Ferguson is reportedly fully supportive of the former Ajax director.
Ferguson aims to advocate for Ten Hag’s value to potential investors, as reported by Footballwave, by emphasizing the manager’s impressive debut season, which involved securing a third-place finish in the Premier League and the Carabao Cup.
Despite a slow beginning in the Premier League, Manchester United trails only five points behind Tottenham Hotspur, managed by Ange Postecoglou, currently occupying fourth place.
While critics and pundits have harshly criticized the Red Devils and lauded Spurs, the reality is that the two teams are relatively close. This raises the question: Does Erik ten Hag genuinely deserve relentless criticism?
In Sir Alex Ferguson’s view, he doesn’t, and thus, the Dutchman is expected to guide Manchester United back to greatness.
