Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Erik ten Hag says he has held \u201cvery positive\u201d meetings with Manchester United\u2019s new investors Ineos.<\/p>\n

Manager Ten Hag met Sir Jim Ratcliffe at United\u2019s training ground on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

On his first visit since the agreement to buy 25 per cent of the club was announced on Christmas Eve, Ten Hag said he spent \u201cmany hours\u201d with Ratcliffe and Ineos representatives Sir Dave Brailsford and John-Claude Blanc.<\/p>\n

The deal is set to be ratified by the Premier League in six to eight weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was very positive,\u201d Ten Hag said. \u201cWe had a long meeting, for many hours we sit together, on many issues we were on the same page. It was a very constructive meeting and we\u2019re looking forward to working with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is expected Ineos will make significant changes to the structure of United, although stock market regulations prevent that from happening at the moment.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag says it is too soon for anyone to make decisions of such significance given Ratcliffe and his associates only arrived in the north west on Tuesday, spending time at Old Trafford on Tuesday and again on Thursday to get to know staff members and understand how the club functions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to let it settle down,\u201d said Ten Hag. \u201cThey are just coming in and introducing themselves. They have good ideas, so we have to see what we can integrate. We will work together but you can\u2019t tell that after one day. We have had our debates about strategies and I think we will come together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ten Hag confirmed goalkeeper Andre Onana would be available for the FA Cup trip to Wigan on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

However, he says talks are continuing with the Cameroon federation over Onana\u2019s availability for the Premier League encounter against Tottenham at Old Trafford on January 14.<\/p>\n

Cameroon\u2019s opening group game at the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) against Guinea takes place just 24 hours later. United are willing to provide a private plane to ensure Onana gets to the game in Yamoussoukro.<\/p>\n

However, West Ham boss David Moyes has already questioned how he had to do without two players for Tuesday\u2019s draw with Brighton due to Afcon commitments while other clubs were able to pick their African contingent for the same round of fixtures.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag feels he is justified in taking his stance as when he signed the goalkeeper from Inter Milan, it was on the understanding that he would not be travelling to the Ivory Coast as he had retired from international duty, only to get talked into changing his mind before the September international break.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an issue during the talks with Andre when he came in here,\u201d said Ten Hag. \u201cThe talks are constructive and we will see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jadon Sancho\u2019s proposed return on loan to Borussia Dortmund is edging closer. It is understood Dortmund are willing to pay around \u00a33m to get Sancho back for the remainder of the season and want him signed quickly enough for him to join them on their current winter training camp in Marbella.<\/p>\n

Sancho\u2019s chances of a return under Ten Hag are non-existent after the England international refused to apologise for his explosive social media post accusing the Dutchman of picking on him and telling lies around the reason for his omission from the squad beaten at Arsenal at the beginning of September.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t say anything about that,\u201d said Ten Hag. \u201cWe have to wait and see how things are going.\u201d<\/p>\n
