In a dramatic twist to the Manchester United saga, Erik ten Hag, the Red Devils' manager, was spotted dining with his agent in Hale Village, Cheshire, mere hours after the club's new part-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, witnessed a gripping 2-2 draw against Tottenham at Old Trafford. This development comes amidst growing speculation over Ten Hag's future at United.
Ratcliffe makes first Old Trafford appearance
British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who recently completed a £1.3 billion minority takeover of Manchester United, marked his presence at Old Trafford alongside the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson.
In a match that kept fans on the edge of their seats, United, led by Ten Hag, managed to secure a draw against Tottenham. The team showcased their potential with goals from their £72 million summer acquisition Rasmus Hojlund and the struggling forward Marcus Rashford.

Ten Hag's Crucial Dinner Meeting
Post-match, Erik ten Hag's evening unfolded in a rather intriguing manner. He was seen arriving at La Famiglia, an Italian restaurant, at 9 pm in a black Audi, donning his signature flat cap as reported by Daily Mail.

Accompanied by his agent Kees Vos and another friend, the Dutch boss spent around two hours at the restaurant. This meeting, occurring in the backdrop of mounting pressure on Ten Hag following United's inconsistent performance, has fueled speculation about the manager's future at the club.
)
Despite Ratcliffe's takeover and the new administration's call for unity and revival, as reported by Mail Sport, Ten Hag's tenure at United remains under scrutiny.
His team is currently positioned seventh in the Premier League and has been eliminated from all other domestic and European competitions, except the FA Cup. Ten Hag, however, has expressed optimism about his discussions with Ratcliffe, tagging it as his 'positive' talks.
)
The stakes are high for Ten Hag as he prepares Manchester United for an FA Cup fourth-round clash against either Newport County or Eastleigh.
This competition remains the club's only shot at silverware this season. Following the FA Cup, the Red Devils will return to Premier League action with a challenging lineup of matches, including encounters with Wolves at Molineux, a home game against West Ham, and an away clash with Champions League hopefuls Aston Villa.
