Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Gareth Southgate could clash on 'one major issue' amid reports the England manager could take over from Erik ten Hag.
Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Gareth Southgate could clash on ‘one major issue’ amid reports the England manager could take over from Erik ten Hag in the summer.
Ten Hag had a promising first campaign at Old Trafford with the Dutchman leading the Red Devils to an FA Cup final, Carabao Cup silverware and a top-four finish in the Premier League.But it hasn’t gone to plan this season with Man Utd finishing bottom of their Champions League group and crashing out of Europe altogether, while they are sixth in the Premier League and struggling for consistency.
That has put Ten Hag under pressure with British billionaire Ratcliffe now in charge of the football operation at Old Trafford after recently completing a deal to buy 25 per cent of the Premier League club.
“But it is a joke. I have never known a player to be treated the way he is, not from the Scottish fans by our own commentators, pundits, whatever it is, they have created something that is beyond anything I have ever seen.”presenter Andy Goldstein had a strong opinion, he said: “Absolute garbage… let me tell you now, Erik ten Hag will be there next season, 100 per cent. There’s no way.
“Sir Jim Ratcliffe, if you’re listening now, you will have a mutiny on your hands. Sir Jim, I know you listen to talkSPORT, it’ll be the worst thing you ever do. I don’t care that he’s England manager, I don’t care. I will change my team… Old Trafford will be empty.”How serendipitous it is that Manchester United have apparently settled on Gareth Southgate as their top manager choice during an interlull.
