Erik ten Hag has been warned he will not be able to raid Ajax of all their top stars - unless Manchester United are willing to stump up the cash.
The Dutch boss has already cherry-picked defender Lisandro Martinez from his former employers in a deal worth £57million and has been linked with several other Ajax players. Winger Antony and defender Jurrien Timber are two names on United's radar as Ten Hag is keen to reunite with the stars who served him well in Amsterdam.
But despite cashing in on Martinez, Ajax technical director Gerry Hamstra has insisted the club are not in a position to allow all of their key players to depart. “We really didn’t want to lose Martínez, but with such high transfer amounts everyone understands how it works," Hamstra admitted to Dutch publication AD.
