Dusan Tadic will be sorry if Ajax lose coach Erik ten Hag to Manchester United.

While Ten Hag won't talk about the links with United, Ajax forward Tadic gave him a glowing reference, detailing the tactical acumen that has been so impressive, particularly during Ajax's success in European competition.

“I hope he stays, he is a great trainer. One of the best in the world," said Tadic.

"Tactically he thinks two steps ahead of the opponent. It is a pleasure to work with him.

"It is logical that there is interest in Ajax's trainer and players. That will always be the case. That is also why we are Ajax. We also have to radiate that."
