Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will remain part of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s plans should the British billionaire succeed in his bid to purchase a 25% stake in the club. Ratcliffe is expected to pay in the region of £1.3 billion ($1.58 billion), sources revealed.

While Ten Hag’s Man United team has struggled this season, losing six of their 11 games so far in all competitions, the INEOS chemicals company founder is believed to still have faith in the Dutch manager and considers him to be part of his plans for the club going forward.

Ten Hag enjoyed an impressive first campaign with the Red Devils last season, leading them to a Carabao Cup victory as well as third place in the Premier League, thereby securing qualification to this season’s UEFA Champions League.

Although Ratcliffe previously faced competition to buy the club from Qatari businessman Sheikh Jassim, he decided to withdraw his offer for 100% ownership of the club after his £5 billion bid was rejected by the Glazer family.

Long-time Paris Saint-Germain striker, who left his club this summer, has reportedly agreed to a two-year deal with Manchester United, pending medicals and final contract talks.

Cavani had been searching for a new team all summer, reportedly coming close to joining various MLS teams and Portugal’s Benfica before finally settling on an offer from an attractive Premier League side.

Manchester United, which has gotten off to a slow start to the season after taking only 3 points from 3 games, needed a striker with Cavani’s experience and quality to help them in their push for a top 4 Premier League finish and Champions League success.

The Uruguayan striker, who scored 138 goals in 200 Ligue 1 matches with the Parisians between 2013 and 2020, has also been a regular starter for his national team since debuting all the way back in 2008.

Working alongside Anthony Martial in the center-forward role and sharing duties for a team that needed more goal scorers could be the perfect role for Cavani at the age of 33.

If all goes well with medicals and contract talks are able to be finalized, expect an official announcement by the club over the next couple of days.

Manchester United’s woes on the road continued on Thursday after playing to a disappointing 0-0 draw in the Netherlands against AZ Alkmaar in Europe League group stage action.

The Red Devils looked feeble against the Eredivisie’s 3rd-ranked team, managing zero shots on goal and failing to threaten much of the night on offense. They have scored only 6 goals in their past 8 games, and have been held scoreless in their past two matches away from Old Trafford.

In fact, many would argue that Manchester United was lucky not to lose on Thursday, as AZ Alkmaar completed four shots on goal and won the possession battle 52% to 48%, a surprising result against one of the most expensive teams in Europe.

While Paul Pogba’s absence due to injury certainly didn’t help their case, not even the world-class French midfielder would have done much to help them on Thursday.

What’s more is that Man U has now failed to win in ten consecutive road games, putting even more pressure on manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer. Their last win on the road was on February 27th in Premier League action against Crystal Palace.

The draw, at least, keeps the Red Devils tied for the top spot in Group L, leaving them even with Partizan Belgrade at 4 points in the group stage standings.

Ole Gunnar Solksjaer had made his first signing as the head man at Manchester United, signing Swansea City winger Daniel James for a reported transfer fee of $19.1 million.

The 21-year-old Wales native made his senior team debut with the Championship side in the 2018-19 season, appearing in 38 total games. He impressed in his senior debut, scoring 5 total goals and distributing 10 assists.

Not only did James break out by making his debut with Swansea City in 2018-19, but he also made his debut with the Welsh national team. There, he scored the game-deciding goal in a 1-0 Wales win over Slovakia in Euro 2020 qualifying.

Manchester United coach Ole Gunnar Solksjaer said of the new Red Devil, “Daniel is an exciting young winger with lots of skills, vision, exceptional pace and a good work ethic.”

He went on to add that he thinks that Manchester United is the perfect place for James to continue developing and advancing as an elite player in the Premier League.

The left-footed winger might not have the opportunity to immediately be a starter for the Red Devils, but his importance should grow for one of England’s top teams as the next few years go on.
