Ajax sends a controversial message to Man Utd over Erik ten Hag's interests |

Ajax has sent a warning to Manchester United that they have not given up hope of keeping their manager Erik ten Hag.

Ten Hag is reportedly on the verge of sealing a deal to become the Red Devils’ boss from the summer, although Gerry Hamstra, the technical manager of the Amsterdam giants, has suggested that Ajax is not giving up hope

“There is interest for Erik ten Hag, that is normal – he has done fantastic,” Hamstra said on Sunday.

“We hope he stays … We did everything possible [to keep him]. We were very busy with that

“He reacted that he is focusing on Ajax now. Now we are preparing for two scenarios, Ten Hag might stay or might leave.”

“Erik can ultimately determine his own future, he is old and wise enough for that,” Hamstra added

“We have two scenarios: we really hope he stays, it makes sense that there is interest in him. And if he doesn’t stay, we have to be ready for the second scenario.”
