Manchester United's new shareholders have met with a potential new coach for the Red Devils

The 48-year-old has fallen out of charge after less than a season in charge of Chelsea, but Ratcliffe remains a big fan of the former Swansea and Brighton boss.
The INEOS CEO has now completed the acquisition of a 25% stake in Manchester United and will immediately take over Manchester United's football business.

Manchester United's recent record has been poor
Since Manchester United were knocked out of the Champions League group stage earlier this month, Dutchman's Erik ten Hag's position has been threatened. Finishing last in the group stage means Manchester United are not even eligible for the Europa League.
From a 0-0 draw with Liverpool to a 2-0 defeat to West Ham United, Manchester United's recent form has not improved. In the last five games, Manchester United won 1, drew 1 and lost 3.

The early exit from the Champions League has caused Manchester United to suffer significant financial losses
Ten Hag's side finished third in the Premier League last season, reached two domestic cup finals and won the Carabao Cup, the first in the last six years.
This season, Manchester United's form has regressed, losing eight of their 18 Premier League games so far, including a 2-0 defeat at West Ham United, with a poor record that has seen the Reds drop to eighth place in the Premier League.
The poor results also cost Manchester United financially. Manchester United's exit from the Champions League will leave the club with a revenue hit of more than £20 million.
Previously, Manchester United had budgeted for a quarter-final appearance. An early exit cost the Red Devils matchday earnings, television earnings and appearance fees.

Will Graham Potter be able to take over the handover?
Earlier this season, Graham Potter turned down the opportunity to replace Alex Neil as Stoke City manager in the Championship. Understandably, he is waiting for a big opportunity to return to the dugout.
Ten Hag is United's fifth full-time manager since Sir Alex Ferguson retired after winning the Premier League title in the 2012-2013 season, according to the stats. However, the 53-year-old Dutchman is following in the footsteps of his predecessor, despite Ten Hag's good first season in charge.
