Ten Hag reveals he held several hours 'positive' talks with Sir Jim Ratcliffe
Erik ten Hag has revealed that he held ‘positive’ talks with Manchester United’s new investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe for several hours at the club’s Carrington training base on Wednesday.
Ratcliffe has paid his first visit to the training ground and Old Trafford this week since completing a £1.3billion deal to buy 25 per cent of the club.
The billionaire Ineos owner and his sporting director Sir Dave Brailsford spoke to Ten Hag, his coaching staff and the players at Carrington on Wednesday, and the United manager was encouraged by what he heard.
‘It was very positive, I have to say,’ said Ten Hag. ‘We had a long meeting, so many hours we sit together.
'On many issues we were on the same page, it was very positive from both sides. I can say that it was a very constructive meeting and we're looking forward to working with each other.
‘I think it's very shortly (that Ineos take over football operations) and also we have to let it settle down. They're just coming in and introducing themselves.
'They have good ideas. We have to see what we can integrate, in togetherness we will work, but after one day you can't tell that.
‘They have given me a few (what their ideas are). We have had our debates about strategies and I think we will come together.’
