There's plenty of movement going on around Old Trafford both upstairs and downstairs, but this time it's the breaking news that Erik ten Hag has signed a new two-year contract with the club. This is despite Jim Ratcliffe pulling up his super yacht at the Monaco marina, lowering the draw-bridge to a besotted Thomas Tuchel... all for him to be send packing with no complementary goody bag.
