Ajax coach Ten Hag insists he'll Cup-tie Real Madrid target Van de Beek

Ajax coach Erik ten Hag insists Donny van de Beek will face PAOK tomorrow.

Despite Real Madrid pushing to sign the midfielder, Ten Hag is adamant he will select Van de Beek for the first-leg of their Champions League qualifier.

Playing Van de Beek will mean Cup-tying him from Real's Champions League group campaign, but Ten Hag is not fussed.

"He came here with us and he will play. There was no discussion as to whether I should summon him or not. Will he be with us for the return match on August 13 in Amsterdam? Yes," declared the coach.
