Edwin van der Sar sends Erik ten Hag emotional message ahead of Manchester United move

Edwin van der Sar has wished Erik ten Hag good fortune when he leaves Ajax for a club 'close' to his heart in Manchester United this summer.

Ajax were in a celebratory mood on Wednesday night as they finally managed to clinch the Eredivisie title ahead of great rivals PSV Eindhoven with an emphatic 5-0 victory over Heerenveen in Amsterdam. The match was the reigning champions' final home game of the season, so as well as celebrating with the trophy there were also emotional goodbyes to be had.

Ten Hag will leave Ajax following five years at the helm after agreeing a three-year deal, as well as the option for a further 12 months, with United to be their next permanent manager. There is just one last match to navigate, an away trip to Vitesse, before the 52-year-old can turn his attention to his new life at Old Trafford and begin conversations with interim boss Ralf Rangnick.
