Ajax have reportedly banned English media from attending Erik ten Hag's latest press conference as Manchester United close in on the Dutchman as their new permanent manager.
The Dutch champions are expecting Ten Hag to be appointed, the Manchester Evening News understands, though a deal is yet to be finalised. As interest ramps up, the Eredivisie leaders have reportedly moved to prevent further distractions to their season by denying press conference access requests from "English media" for Saturday's clash with Sparta Rotterdam.
Ajax sit top of the league, four points clear of nearest challengers PSV Eindhoven, with eight games left to play. Relegation-threatened Rotterdam visit the Amsterdam ArenA on Saturday evening, with PSV next in action on Sunday.
