Manchester, Oct 20: With the ownership of Manchester United up in the air and the team struggling early in the Premier League season, manager Erik ten Hag is doing his best to keep his focus on the field and out of the boardroom.
Ignoring the noise surrounding the club’s potential sale isn’t easy, however, with British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe looking to become a minority shareholder alongside the Glazer family.
“I’m not involved in this. Others in the club are dealing with this,” Ten Hag said on Friday. “I am focusing on my team, I’m focusing on the coming block (of games), and I am focusing on the most important priority, the next game – it’s all about that.”
The Dutch coach met with Ratcliffe when an Ineos delegation took a tour of United’s stadium and training centre in March as part of the sale process. (AP)
