Manchester United suffered a devastating defeat, squandering a 3-2 lead and conceding two goals in the final minutes, leaving them in sixth place and 11 points adrift of the top four. Their embarrassing goal difference of -1 after their 12th league defeat raises concerns ahead of their upcoming match against league leaders Liverpool.

Owner Ratcliffe, a United fan and petrochemicals billionaire, has invested heavily and is seeking a return on his investment. The pressure on head coach Erik ten Hag is mounting, with swift decisions expected and a focus on achieving results.

There is a strong emphasis on placing the right people in key positions and creating a positive and high-quality environment to extract the best performance from the team. The recent poor performances have raised doubts about Ten Hag’s suitability for the role, and it is clear that Ratcliffe will not tolerate mediocrity in such a crucial position.

The club is focused on establishing a world-class management structure and fostering a supportive and successful environment, with the expectation that positive results will follow. Additionally, the club is promoting its new WhatsApp community for fans to receive daily content and special offers.
