Ajax coach Ten Hag pushed about Man Utd rumours by local reporters

Ajax coach Erik ten Hag has been pushed about rumours of interest from Manchester United.

The 52-year-old is under contract at Ajax until next year, although his compensation package shouldn't pose much of an issue for United.

Speaking ahead of his side's clash with Feyenoord this weekend, the Dutchman insisted his focus remains on finishing the season strongly with Ajax.

"I am just focused on this season," Ten Hag said during his press conference. “All energy is being put in the current squad. I don't think about next season. I want to get the maximum out of the current season, we can still win two trophies."

On his side's exit from the Champions League, Ten Hag added: "Of course, it is clear that this disappointment is coming. But a sportsman fights back, gets himself back together and focuses on the future. We have to make sure we play in the Champions League again next year."
