Ten Hag asks about Manchester United takeover offers

Dutchman Ten Hag was asked about news of several bids for the club, including Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe from Qatar. But Ten Hag insisted he was sticking to his job and had “nothing to do” with it

Ratcliffe, owner of OGC Nice, has a net worth of £11.3 billion and is CEO of chemicals group INEOS and has revealed his plans to make the club “debt-free
