Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has said that he is not in need of promises of job security from new co-owner Jim Ratcliffe.
The statement comes amid uncertainty over Ten Hag’s future, who is focused on ensuring the club continues to stay on the right track.
Ten Hag was roped in in 2022 and led United to a third-place finish in the Premier League as well as the League Cup title in his first season, but their current campaign has not been up to the mark.
United have suffered this season due to inconsistent performances and injury woes, with the club in sixth place after their 2-1 league defeat to Fulham on Saturday.
The loss, which came just three days after Ratcliffe expressed his desire to bring United back to their glory days, increased pressure on Ten Hag.
Asked whether it would benefit the club for Ratcliffe to publicly announce Ten Hag as United's long-term manager, the Dutchman told reporters: "I'm under contract for three seasons, so I don't care.
"I am in this process, I'm only focusing on the process, so I don't care what's going on around me," Ten Hag added, speaking ahead of a fifth-round FA Cup tie at Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.
"I have many talks with Sir Jim Radcliffe, also with Sir Dave Brailsford and others in that group, so I know what we are talking about and I have a strong belief and I feel that they believe in me.
"I want to win every game. I know I'm in a process, I know what I'm doing. I focus on those two points - progress of the team in this moment and the next game, and to think about the future, and to do that in togetherness."
