Erik ten Hag has revealed he has met Sir Jim Ratcliffe ahead of the Brit's potential takeover of Manchester United.

The UK's richest man was pictured at Old Trafford after touching down in the City to discuss his potential takeover with club officials as he rivals a group of Qatari bidders - led by Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani - who gave their presentation on Thursday.

Ratcliffe - who owns Ligue 1 side Nice and heads up INEOS, a partner of the Mercedes F1 team - was photographed arriving at Old Trafford and being greeted by chief executive Richard Arnold.
