Erik ten Hag's position at Man Utd is being questioned by some<\/h3>\n

Manchester United will be keeping tabs on Mason Greenwood’s development at Getafe after pledging to help the 22-year-old forward resume his career away from Old Trafford. But an interesting name closely linked with Sir Jim Ratcliffe could suggest Greenwood’s United career isn’t over just yet.<\/p>\n

Sir Jim could take over United’s sporting operation as early as next week after agreeing a \u00a31.4billion deal to buy 25 per cent of the club.<\/p>\n

The Glazer family will remain majority shareholders but have handed the INEOS founder the keys to helm the most important project at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Sir Jim will reportedly look to appoint his own trusted figures in high positions once he inherits control at United.<\/p>\n

Chief executive Richard Arnold is expected to leave his role, and John football director John Murtough is also thought to be at risk.<\/p>\n

Widely regarded director of football, Paul Mitchell, has been heavily linked with a job at United under Sir Jim’s new regime.<\/p>\n

He is said to be the 71-year-old’s first-choice candidate to replace Murtough, and the interest is mutual.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So, with Sir Jim’s Old Trafford arrival imminent, Mitchell’s reported attendance at a recent Getafe match has undoubtedly caught interest.<\/p>\n

According to Mundo Deportivo, Mitchell was in the stands at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez as Greenwood faced Cadiz on Monday.<\/p>\n

Greenwood played 86 minutes in a 1-0 win, missing a good chance before providing the assist for Borja Mayoral.<\/p>\n

United claimed they didn’t expect their former No 11 to play for the club again, but the imminent change in power could prompt a shift in stance.<\/p>\n

It would be a controversial start to the Sir Jim and INEOS era at United, though, given the mass backlash over Greenwood’s potential reintegration in the summer.<\/p>\n
