Man Utd's Sir Jim Ratcliffe warns against transfers and explains why Erik ten Hag was kept on.

In a recent interview, Sir Jim Ratcliffe shared his thoughts on the recent developments at Manchester United. He made it clear that he does not believe the managerial position is the main concern at the club, despite the decision to retain Erik ten Hag as the head coach.

Ratcliffe acknowledged that there were doubts surrounding ten Hag's future throughout last season, even after he led the team to a triumphant victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup final. However, after a thorough review of the season, the club's management has decided to stick with the Dutchman for the upcoming campaign.

Some may wonder why United did not opt for a change in leadership, especially after approaching other potential managers such as Thomas Tuchel and Kieran McKenna. Ratcliffe explained that the club needs to be supportive in order to help younger players develop, and this is something that has been lacking in the club's historical environment.

"The coach is not the central issue at Manchester United," Ratcliffe emphasized. "It's a sports club, and while it needs to be competitive and intense, there also needs to be a supportive side to it, especially when dealing with relatively young players."

Ratcliffe also expressed his concerns about the club's squad issues and whether they will be addressed in the upcoming transfer window. He believes that it will take some time and multiple transfer windows to improve the team's overall situation.

"I'm not confident that we will solve all the problems in the first transfer window," Ratcliffe said. "It will probably take two or three windows to get to a better place. Currently, Manchester United does not have any players valued at €100 million or more, so it's not a simple fix."

In summary, Ratcliffe believes that the club's issues cannot be solved by simply buying one high-value player, and it will require a more strategic and long-term approach. As a fan of the club, Ratcliffe remains hopeful that things will improve, but he also acknowledges that it will take time and patience.
