Injury Woes and New Ownership Shape Manchester United’s New Season

Coach Erik ten Hag believes last season could have been different if not for injuries. With new owner Jim Ratcliffe taking control, Manchester United is undergoing significant changes. However, new and recurring injuries continue to challenge the team as they prepare for the upcoming season.

Coach Erik ten Hag suggested last season's outcome would have been different if injuries hadn't obstructed Manchester United's progress. However, fresh setbacks ahead of the new campaign have once again dampened the spirits at Old Trafford.

British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, the new co-owner, has taken charge of soccer operations at England's most successful football club, implementing wide-ranging changes both on and off the pitch. Plans for a new state-of-the-art stadium are underway, but fans are primarily focused on immediate squad improvements after United's dismal Premier League finish last season.

Ratcliffe and his INEOS company have recruited Dan Ashworth as sporting director, Jason Wilcox as technical director, and Omar Berrada from Manchester City as CEO to bolster the club's operations. Ten Hag expressed confidence in the new structure, anticipating that it would aid in scouting, recruitment, and performance enhancement.
