EXCLUSIVE: Man Utd have opened talks with Erik ten Hag over a new contract at Old Trafford and the discussions are likely to centre around two key issues.
Erik ten Hag is reluctant to cede too much power over transfers at Manchester United as he prepares for contract talks with the club.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has developed plans to change how the club operates, with a sporting director set to lead on recruitment and the head coach then reporting into that figure. Ratcliffe has also appointed a technical director - Jason Wilcox - to draw up a 'game model' for a playing style to be implemented across the club.
That desire for control on recruitment led to Ten Hag having a veto on new signings written into his contract and that is likely to be a contentious sticking point during negotiations over a new deal, with Ratcliffe making it clear he wants to move away from a model that hands so much power to a manager.
