‘My team, my focus, I’m not involved’ – Ten Hag distances himself from Ratcliffe’s Man Utd bid

Erik ten Hag has expressed his lack of information regarding Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s potential investment in Manchester United.

Ratcliffe and his INEOS-backed consortium are planning to acquire a 25% stake, which would grant them a say in football-related decisions.

Ten Hag currently holds veto power over Manchester United’s player recruitment.

However, the Dutchman stated that he has not been informed of any alterations to the club’s organizational structure.

“I’m not involved in this,” Ten Hag told a news conference on Friday.

“Others in the club are dealing with this, I’m focusing on my team, focusing on the current block and the most important priority is the next game, it’s all about that.”

United will resume after the international break with a trip to the Premier League’s bottom side, Sheffield United, on Saturday.

Casemiro will miss out because of an ankle problem but Sergio Reguilón and Raphaël Varane are set to return.

Ten Hag also confirmed that Victor Lindelöf is available after the defender was caught up in the incident that forced the abandonment of Sweden’s Euro 2024 qualifier with Belgium.

The game was called off at halftime after two Sweden fans were fatally shot in Brussels before kickoff.

“It’s a terrible situation and sad for the victims and the relatives, family and friends of the victims there in Brussels,” Ten Hag added.

“It’s a crazy world. Of course, Victor had a problem; it’s a bad experience. As the captain of the Swedish national team, he had to stay in front and give statements but he dealt with it. He’s exhausted from it. He didn’t sleep overnight.

“He returned and yesterday [Thursday] he was back in training. He dealt with the situation. Our thoughts are with Victor, the victims’ relatives and the victims. Victor has energy and is ready to play this game.”
