Ajax star Davy Klaassen aims brutal dig at Man Utd over Erik ten Hag pursuit

Ajax ace Davy Klaassen declared Manchester United have been "doing badly for years" as he ruthlessly questioned why Erik ten Hag would swap the Johan Cruyff Arena for Old Trafford.

Ten Hag is the odds-on favourite to become United's next permanent manager this summer - when Ralf Rangnick will leave the interim job - and completed his interview with club chiefs in March. The Dutchman has overtaken Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino as the frontrunner for the role after an impressive five-year stint with Ajax.

He has led the Amsterdam giants to two Eredivisie-KNVB Cup doubles as well as the Champions League semi-finals in 2019. In contrast, the Red Devils have not won a trophy since 2017 and they have no realistic chance of silverware this season.
