Erik ten Hag could have enjoyed his Ajax farewell tour this week. Having secured a third Eredivisie title he could have partied with his squad as they head to Curacao, fulfilling a commercial commitment that also sounds an awful lot like a celebratory party.
Instead, Ten Hag will pass on the attraction of the Caribbean island and focus on his work with United. As of last night, there were no immediate plans for him to travel to Manchester, but it could make sense to do so.
The Dutchman hasn't 'officially' started work with United yet, but he has been involved in significant discussions on plans for the summer and for next season.
