Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been on the spotlights amidst the takeover saga.
The former Ajax manager's future at Manchester United has been in doubt with reports Sir Jim Ratcliffe will likely part ways with him when he takes charge of Man United sporting operations.
Former Chelsea boss Graham Potter, who is said to be Sir Jim's favorite manager, was linked to Man United role should Sir Jim decides to sack Erik ten Hag due to Man United's abysmal start to the campaign.

Additionally, Sir Jim Ratcliffe was reportedly set to implement a new transfer quota that will prioritize signing indigenous English players than foreigners.
Since Erik ten Hag assumed the reins at Man United dugout, 80% of his signings have been foreigners. Hence, Sir Jim Ratcliffe's planned quota system was certainly set to clash with the Dutch's Man United transfer plan.
With the inconsistencies between the two parties, ten Hag's future at Man United was in doubt as Sir Jim Ratcliffe closed in on Man United ownership.
Amidst rumors of his uncertain Man United future amidst the change of guard at Man United sporting and footballing operations, Erik ten Hag has broken his silence.

"I'm looking forward to talks with INEOS. In other sports, they have a lot of experience, and a lot of knowledge".
