There have been some questions surrounding the Dutchman\u2019s position after a disappointing start to the season, but he appears to retain the confidence of the INEOS chief.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN have claimed that Ten Hag will be informed that he is part of Ratcliffe\u2019s plans at United should he be successful in obtaining a minority share of the club, in exchange for approximately \u00a31.3billion. After Qatari bidder Sheikh Jassim pulled out of the race, the Brit was in pole position to invest. Part of his plan it to oversee the sporting side of United.<\/p>\n<p>A board meeting is set to be held on Thursday where a deal could be finalised. The English businessman was hoping to end the Glazers\u2019 time in charge of United, but the family are likely to keep their majority ownership at least in the short term &#8211; though Ratcliffe could make another attempt at a full takeover in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Under Ten Hag, United finished third in the Premier League and won the Carabao Cup last season, but this campaign has been a different story. They are currently 10th in the table after four wins and four defeats from their opening eight games and have lost both of their opening Champions League matches against Bayern Munich and Galatasaray.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> JUST IN <\/strong> <strong>Man Utd takeover timescale as &#8216;Jim Ratcliffe plan&#8217; for Glazer removal emerges[TAKEOVER] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Man-Utd-Erik-ten-Hag-5014813.jpg?r=1697464941196\"><\/p>\n<p>After United were defeated at Old Trafford by the Turkish side, fans made their voices heard by booing the team at the final whistle, having lost six of their previous 10 games. The pressure had been ramped up on Ten Hag, who admitted that he could understand the supporters\u2019 frustration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey can expect, I am responsible for this team, for the performance, for the result \u2013 together with my squad,\u201d he said earlier this month. \u201cIn this moment we don\u2019t get the results and they are then disappointed, I can understand that.
