Latest on Manchester United board reshuffle

It’s not been a good time for Manchester United lately after the 2-2 draw at Bournemouth and just one win from their last seven Premier League games now. It’s important to remember the incredible injury situation at the club, though, with 60 separate cases of players being injured or ill this season - a really shocking number and they are discussing this internally at United.

But of course many of you have been asking me about the Erik ten Hag situation - what I can say is that Ten Hag has been honest with what he’s saying in public about having positive talks with co-owners INEOS. This is the reality - Ten Hag is having conversations with INEOS about the project and about the summer ahead. This was also the case earlier in the season, when Ten Hag spoke with the board and approved the decision to sign an important centre-back in 2024.

But, of course, results are crucial. Even if Ten Hag has had a positive involvement so far, INEOS of course want to see something positive on the pitch in the final weeks of the season, for example in the FA Cup. The end of the season, in terms of both performances and results, is going to be important for INEOS to decide the future of Ten Hag, so the situation remains open.
