Manchester United minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has addressed the decision to keep Erik ten Hag last summer. The Dutchman was fired and replaced by Ruben Amorim.

Erik ten Hag's tenure as Manchester United manager quickly saw its promise drain away and there are clear parallels between his dismal reign and Ruben Amorim's current struggles

In a separate interview with the BBC, Ratcliffe also gave his backing to Amorim for the long-term, believing that the former Sporting CP head honcho will be at the Theatre of Dreams for years to come despite recent reports suggesting the club could be looking at managerial candidates elsewhere.
