(Reuters) - Less than a week after British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe became a minority stakeholder at Manchester United, manager Erik ten Hag is concentrating on the club's next game against Nottingham Forest rather than being distracted with the new set-up.

The Dutchman has yet to speak to anyone from Ratcliffe's INEOS group as he has been busy during the Christmas period, during which United defeated Aston Villa 3-2 on Tuesday and then face Forest away on Saturday.
