Erik ten Hag believes he can impress Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s new Manchester United management. 

The beleaguered Dutchman is eager to outline his future plan, including a summer squad revamp, according to The Sun. 

Despite prospective investor Ratcliffe apparently talking to ex-Brighton and Chelsea manager Graham Potter. 

After ‘legal structural’ issues delayed Ratcliffe’s £1.25billion investment, Mail Sport stated that his 25% ownership will be confirmed next week. 

After their 3-0 loss to Bournemouth at Old Trafford and their humiliating exit from Europe to Bayern Munich, Ten Hag’s position has been scrutinized. 

United lost more games than they won this season, but Ten Hag was named Manager of the Month in November after a mini-revival raised them to sixth in the Premier League. 

For now, the hierarchy is reluctant to fire him, but outcomes must improve. 

A fascinating match against league leader Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday may immortalize a reputation or demolish it. 

Last March’s 7-0 Kop thumping by Liverpool will be remembered, and United must prevent a repetition.  

The Sun said that Ten Hag will likely meet with director of sport Dave Brailsford rather than Ratcliffe as the new football operations leaders. 

Players like Anthony Martial, who is out of contract in the summer, are at risk. 

Jadon Sancho, who has only played three matches this season and was exiled from training following a spat with Ten Hag, is a clear choice.  

Raphael Varane, who had not started a game in seven weeks until the Bayern loss, may also be cut. 

Donny van de Beek has only played two games this season, while Casemiro, the highly paid player, has not looked his usual self. 

After a £400m investment, many believe Ten Hag has the support to realize his objective.
