While Erik ten Hag’s future seemed to be at Manchester United, the last few days have made Jim Ratcliffe change his mind about his coach’s future. As revealed yesterday in our columns, the owner of the English team would like to attract Zinedine Zidane for next season. It must be said that the Dutch coach is widely criticized across the Channel, particularly from Jamie Carragher. Criticisms from the former Liverpool defender that the Mancunian coach does not accept: “Some analysts are very objective in their comments, giving very good advice, others are very subjective, Jamie Carragher is one of them. From the first moment he criticized and now he wants to make his point. »
Erik ten Hag also wanted to brush aside rumors of a possible ouster: “I just focus on the process, so I don’t care what’s going on around me. I have many discussions with Sir Jim Ratcliffe, also with Sir Dave Brailsford (the Ineos director of sport and club board member) and others in that group, so I know what we are talking about and I have a firm belief and I think they believe in me”. Not enough to give Manchester United confidence at the dawn of a decisive week where the Red Devils will have to face Nottingham Forest in the fifth round of the FA Cup and especially Manchester City for the shock of the Premier League day on Sunday.
