Erik ten Hag discusses meeting with Sir Jim Ratcliffe during Man Utd takeover talks

Erik ten Hag has revealed he shook hands with Sir Jim Ratcliffe after meeting Manchester United's potential new owner on Friday.

INEOS chief Ratcliffe visited Old Trafford for a presentation on the takeover process of the Premier League club. The billionaire, who heralds from the Greater Manchester area, was greeted at Old Trafford by United's CEO Richard Arnold for the crucial meeting.

Current owners the Glazers put United up for sale in November, although there is no guarantee the club will be sold. Ratcliffe's main rival is Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, as his representatives visited Old Trafford for similar talks on Thursday.
