After the two agreed to Jadon Sancho’s January departure, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has already backed Erik ten Hag.

The winger for Manchester United hasn’t featured much for the Red Devils this season because to his highly publicized split from Ten Hag. After refusing to apologize to his manager for remarks he made on social media, Sancho was kicked off the first team.

There are already other teams vying for his services, and it seems like he has little more at Old Trafford. West Ham, a Premier League foe, is interested in signing Sancho on a temporary basis only in the summer.

Reuniting with previous team Borussia Dortmund now seems highly likely. The two teams have already held discussions over a loan that would last until the end of the current campaign, and both are hopeful that a deal can be reached.

Sancho is amenable to returning to Germany, and in order to let the wide player go, United is prepared to pay up to 50% of his £180,000 weekly salary. If the 23-year-old does well upon his return, the agreement may also be extended permanently.

Any action taken in January would put an end to a turbulent time at Old Trafford and establish Ratcliffe’s support for Ten Hag. It would appear that the owner of INEOS still has credit in the bank despite the Red Devils’ terrible season, given that he is willing to support a significant call from the Dutchman.

Ten Hag has already expressed how much he is enjoying the opportunity to collaborate with Ratcliffe. “In the coming days, weeks, there will be time for us, then I’ll know more,” he stated prior to the Red Devils’ loss to Nottingham Forest.

“It’s a very wonderful thing, in my opinion. We are incredibly excited to collaborate. In this arrangement, INEOS wants to collaborate with me, and I want to collaborate with them.

No matter who is in charge, we always want to win. We need a winning culture regardless of who is in the lead or the owner because we have been selected to this position. Owners can, of course, motivate you.”

Ten Hag is anticipated to have discussions with Ratcliffe as well as his dependable associates Dave Brailsford and Jean-Claude Blanc. Less than two weeks following the announcement of a 25 percent deal for the club, the three set out for Manchester.

Ratcliffe is anticipated to stay in the city for a few days and will speak with staff members at Carrington and Old Trafford. He is expected to see Ten Hag and the present team, and it’s possible that they will discuss Sancho’s future.

Following a £73 million transfer from Dortmund, the 23-year-old England international has made 82 appearances and scored 12 goals for Man United. With the Bundesliga powerhouses, he had better luck as he scored 50 goals and contributed 64 assists in 137 appearances across all competitions.
