Erik ten Hag responds to claims of Manchester United agreement

Erik ten Hag has said that he is keeping quiet over a potential move to Manchester United as Ajax are still fighting to win two trophies this season.

The Dutchman is believed to have agreed a deal to become the English club's new head coach, but there has not yet been an official announcement on his expected move to Old Trafford.

When asked why he was remaining quiet about a switch to the 20-time English champions, Ten Hag said that he was currently only focusing on helping Ajax enjoy a strong end to the campaign.

The Amsterdam giants are currently four points clear of second-placed PSV Eindhoven at the top of the Eredivisie table, while they will take on PSV in the final of the KNVB Cup on Sunday.

"Because I serve Ajax. We need to win the two remaining trophies," Ten Hag told journalist Mike Verweij.

Since arriving at Ajax in 2017, Ten Hag has delivered two league titles and two Dutch Cups, and he is bidding to end his time with the club on a high.

The 52-year-old started his managerial career with Go Ahead Eagles in 2012, while he has also been in charge of Bayern Munich II and Utrecht.
