Sir Jim Ratcliffe is reportedly set to entrust three directors to make a decision on whether Manchester United will part ways with under-fire manager Erik ten Hag this summer.
Mail Sport revealed exclusively this week that the INEOS CEO and his leadership group at Old Trafford will not sack the Dutchman before their FA Cup final showdown against Manchester City on May 25.
Yet, big concerns are mounting over the 54-year-old's future at the Red Devils following this season's failings.
A 4-0 drubbing by Crystal Palace on Monday night heightened concerns over his future, with critics raising questions over his coaching style and his ability to motivate his players. United have won only once in their last seven Premier League matches, slipping to eighth in the table.
Several big names from within the world of football have been linked to succeed him as the Red Devils' manager, including Gareth Southgate and Thomas Tuchel, but that is only if Ratcliffe and his leadership group decide to part ways with him.
