Ajax coach Ten Hag confident of players focus after Man Utd announcement

Ajax coach Erik ten Hag says his players remain focused after his learning about his move to Manchester United.

Ten Hag is attempting to leave Ajax on a high by winning the Eredivisie title this season prior to his switch to Old Trafford.

Saturday's win over PEC Zwolle maintains Ajax's four-point lead on second-placed PSV, and ten Hag says his players have not been distracted by his appointment at United.

"My players are always focused and that is what we demand," said Ten Hag at his post-match press conference.

"That is in our process. What you see, it's always spirit in this team, the fighting spirit.

"We need that attitude to win games and, finally, win championships. That we will do, but we have to live from game to game, we will do that."
