The 71-year-old Ratcliffe says that his club is not where it should be.

Manchester United has lost half of its six matches in the Premier League and is only in 13th place.

After two matches in the Europa League, the team is winless and has two draws after barely managing to secure a point away against Porto, 3–3, on Thursday evening.

Our goal is very clear, we want to take Manchester United back to where we belong and we are not where we want to be. It's absolutely clear, says Ratcliffe.

Regarding ten Hag's future, he says that it's not up to him to make that decision. He could have given the Dutchman support in BBC, but chose not to do so.

I like Erik, I think he's a very good coach, but it's not my decision. It's the sports management that has to decide how we manage the team best from several aspects, says Ratcliffe.

Manchester United extended its contract with ten Hag until 2026 last summer.

Manchester United faces Aston Villa away on Sunday in the last match before the international break, and there Erik ten Hag needs a good result to guarantee his job.
