‘We made the wrong decision’: Sir Jim Ratcliffe says Manchester United made error in continuing with Erik ten Hag after 2023/24 season | Football News

Manchester united co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe admitted that it was a mistake on their part after they took a decision to continue with Dutch manager Erik ten Hag after he had won them a FA Cup last season. Last season, Ten Hag guided United to an 8th placed finish before winning an FA Cup with them but he was sacked in the 2024/25 season even after being given a contract extension due to United languishing in the 15th spot after 9 matches. “It was too early for us to make a big decision in reality. It was quite difficult to extract Erik’s performance from the structure around him. Was the erratic performance a function of Erik, or was it a function of the organisation? And we couldn’t really get to the bottom of answering that question with certainty, I suppose, so we gave Erik the benefit of the doubt,” he said in an interaction with Gary Neville. When Neville asked if he regretted the decision to continue with Ten Hag, Ratcliffe said, “Yeah, it was …

Moises Caicedo’s strike denied Manchester United victory in their first Premier League game since sacking Erik ten Hag as Chelsea claimed a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford. Interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy, who will be replaced by Ruben Amorim later his month, sprinted down the touchline in celebration after Bruno Fernandes put United in front from the penalty spot 20 minutes from time. Caicedo quickly replied for the Blues, who edge above Arsenal on goal different into fourth. A point leaves United still down in 13th, six points off the top four. Amorim was not in attendance as he prepares to take charge of Sporting Lisbon for the one of the final times against Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday. United were far more competitive than in 3-0 demolitions by Liverpool and Tottenham at home this season, but showed many of the same flaws that cost Ten Hag his job. Van Nistelrooy enjoyed a 5-2 demolition of an under-strength Leicester in his first match in charge to reach the League Cup …

A familiar feeling of flux must have gone through the Manchester United fanbase as yet another high-profile coach bit the dust, trying to tame the metaphorical dragon that is the Old Trafford job. Erik Ten Hag had poked and prodded, ruffling some feathers on the way but ultimately, he was burnt like many others before him as the defeat to West Ham proved to be the final straw for the management to pull the plug on his time as a Manchester United manager. So, with almost three years of whatever little progress the club had undergone under Ten Hag will have to be undone as United prepare for a fresh start. Yet again. With United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy being appointed the interim coach for the time being, the Old Trafford club have already begun the search for Ten Hag’s successor. If rumours are to be believed, the minority owners Ineos had already lined up familiar names in the summer before Ten Hag convinced them to stick with him after a shock FA Cup win …
