"There is no reason to expect any sort of statement after Sir Jim's meeting'

UNITED are yet to clarify Erik ten Hag's future following their executive meeting in London on Tuesday.

-  SAMUEL LUCKHURST

Co-chairmen Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Joel Glazer, football board member Sir Dave Brailsford and sporting director Dan Ashworth all met at Ineos's office in Knightsbridge to discuss Ten Hag's position, among other matters.

Chief financial officer Roger Bell and Ineos sport chief executive Jean-Claude Blanc were also in attendance for the six-hour summit.

There have been conflicting whispers regarding Ten Hag's fate and a source said nothing should be read into the club's failure to communicate an outcome on Tuesday night.

A United source said the gathering in Knightsbridge was a routine monthly executive committee meeting and that there was no reason to expect a statement in its aftermath.
