Ajax boss Erik ten Hag reacted angrily when questioned on a possible move to Manchester United ahead of his team's Eredivisie clash with Sparta Rotterdam on Saturday.

Man United are believed to be on the verge of appointing Ten Hag as their new manager following successful talks between the two parties over the last couple of weeks.

The Red Devils have seen their hopes of a top-four finish in the Premier League table take a hit in recent weeks, but Ajax are currently involved in a title race, sitting seven points clear of PSV Eindhoven at the top of the division.

The Amsterdam giants beat Sparta Rotterdam 2-1 on Saturday evening, but when questioned about a move to Man United ahead of the match, Ten Hag gave an angry response.

"We are busy with training and with the matches," Ten Hag told ESPN. "That way you keep the focus on it. I want to talk about the game and not about other things and whether or not I've had conversations. I won't comment on rumours. Questions about the game or I am going inside."

The 52-year-old, who had an interview with Man United at the end of last month, has won two league titles and two Dutch Cups since taking charge of Ajax in December 2017.
