There will be a meeting today between Sir Jim Ratcliffe and other Manchester United executives to discuss a range of topics concerning the club, including Erik ten Hag’s future as manager.
It doesn’t help Ten Hag that United haven’t won a football match since 17 September. To make matters worse, they’ve recorded three wins in 11 outings across all competitions – against Fulham, Southampton and Barnsley.
The team is currently on a five-game winless run, positioned 14th in the Premier League and yet to win a match in the Europa League after drawing two.
According to ESPN, Ten Hag seems to have been given the impression that he’s safe for now – but it remains to be seen how long he has to turn things around at Old Trafford.
Monday’s headlines brought former Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel back into the mix, while Joel Glazer was spotted at Old Trafford for meetings.
Glazer is expected to attend today’s pre-scheduled meeting between fellow executives in London, after showing his face at the Fans’ Advisory Board meeting on Monday.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Omar Berrada, Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox will all be in attendance.
INEOS decided to stick with Ten Hag in the summer, with the view to giving him a third season to prove he is the right man for the job.
Melissa Reddy explained that United are looking to take a measured approach with the manager as they don’t want to appear kneejerk in any way.
Meanwhile, reports elsewhere suggest Ruud van Nistelrooy is on standby to take the job as a caretaker manager, if Ten Hag is sacked.
