United have been embarrassed on the pitch time and time again throughout the early stages of the campaign and suffered a 3-0 mauling at home to Manchester City on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Ratcliffe is in the final stages of negotiating a deal with United\u2019s Glazer family owners to buy a 25 per cent stake in the Red Devils. The INEOS boss is expected to take charge of the Red Devils\u2019 football operations as part of the deal, which means he will have a big say on who the club\u2019s manager is. And Ten Hag has done himself no favours this season, with United losing five of their first 10 Premier League matches.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the Red Devils\u2019 struggles, the Glazers and Ratcliffe are still behind Ten Hag according to 90min. And Sir Dave Brailsford, who is currently INEOS\u2019 director of sport and has been tipped to be given a leading role at Old Trafford, is also confident in Ten Hag\u2019s position.<\/p>\n<p>Ratcliffe, Brailsford and those soon to assume control of United are convinced of the Dutchman\u2019s qualities due to his exploits last season and during his time in charge of Ajax. And they don\u2019t believe the Red Devils\u2019 failings are strictly down to the 53-year-old.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Read more: <\/strong> <strong>Erik ten Hag responds to &#8216;player concerns&#8217; with three Newcastle changes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5043663.jpg?r=1698845405271\"><\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag took charge of the 13-time Premier League champions last summer and soon guided his team to silverware as they lifted the Carabao Cup in February. The Dutchman also led United back to the Champions League, courtesy of a third-place league finish, and to the FA Cup final, where they were defeated by Manchester City.<\/p>\n<p>But this season it has been a different story at Old Trafford and the Red Devils have faltered on the pitch. They have fallen to eighth in the Premier League table and are also on the brink of exiting the Champions League in the group stages after losing two of their first three matches in the competition.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Advert-free experience without interruptions.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Rocket-fast speedy loading pages.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Exclusive &amp; Unlimited access to all our content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd drew up Jadon Sancho plan that backfired as Erik ten Hag set to axe star[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Arsenal send scouts to monitor Benjamin Sesko with Man Utd to miss out[DETAILS] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd told Arsenal star Eddie Nketiah is &#8216;an upgrade on Rasmus Hojlund'[QUOTES] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5043681.jpg?r=1698845405377\"><\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, Ten Hag\u2019s team were outfought and outclassed by their neighbours as City ran riot in front of goal.
