Sir Jim Ratcliffe ‘agrees deal’, Casemiro injury and Ten Hag press conference

Manchester United find themselves in a precarious situation as they are experiencing their worst start to a season since 1962. The pressure on manager Erik ten Hag is mounting as they prepare for their upcoming match against Fulham. The team has already suffered five defeats in their first 10 Premier League matches and were recently knocked out of the Carabao Cup following a humiliating loss to Newcastle.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the club’s future, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s potential purchase of a 25% stake still awaiting confirmation, Ratcliffe is reportedly willing to invest up to £245m to improve Manchester United’s infrastructure, according to Sky News. This could provide some hope for the struggling team.

In addition to their off-field troubles, Manchester United’s on-field performance has also been dismal. They suffered heavy defeats in two consecutive matches at Old Trafford, with a thrashing by Manchester City in the derby followed by a woeful 3-0 loss to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup. Their defeat in the Manchester derby has left them eight points behind the top four teams, and they cannot afford to let the gap widen any further.

To make matters worse, midfielder Casemiro has been ruled out for “several weeks” due to a hamstring injury, which means he will miss several crucial matches in November. This includes their upcoming fixtures against Fulham, FC Copenhagen, Luton, Everton, and Galatasaray.

Follow the latest Manchester United news for updates on Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s potential investment and Erik ten Hag’s press conference ahead of the Fulham match. It remains to be seen whether Ten Hag can turn things around for the struggling team.
