The new boss of Manchester United has arrived. After finally becoming co-owner of the club at the start of the week, Jim Ratcliffe can begin the transformation he so desires. In addition to the stadium project (he wants to build a new enclosure and abandon Old Trafford) and the review of the squad before starting the next transfer window, the boss of INEOS wants to reorganize the club. In addition to the probable arrival of Dan Ashworth from Newcastle, the boss of INEOS wants leaders “world class” at all positions.
This is what he said a few days ago in an interview with the Belgian economic media, De Tijd. “We have to look at the organization of the club because it is not good at the moment. Take the coach (Erik ten Hag) for example. He must report directly to the CEO. This is no longer possible in a modern football organization.” Things will change internally at Manchester United but that will not guarantee sporting success either. His little media tour is not over and this time, it is Erik ten Hag that he is directly targeting.
Ratcliffe does not publicly support Ten Hag
In a new interview, this time with Daily Mail, the businessman did not support the current coach when the question about the Dutchman was asked. Instead of finding convenient formulas or praising his work, he spoke of the difficulties of “the environment”in particular because of the various affairs which have poisoned the locker room in recent months. “I talk about the organization, the people in the structure and the atmosphere in the club. We have to deal with this. So I’m not really focused on the coach. I’m focusing more on that.”
As a way of avoiding the subject. This lack of public support is seen as worrying for the coach who has been in place for almost two years. The arrival of Dan Ashworth also risks moving the lines, particularly in terms of recruitment. On this subject, Manchester United will have to sell a few stars in order to comply with the financial fair play requirements of the Premier League. A way to close the page of recent seasons where excessive spending has not masked a lack of results. Ten Hag may be worried.
