Erik ten Hag moves to clarify "agreement" over signing Ajax players for Man Utd

Incoming Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has insisted there are “no agreements” in place to bring any of his Ajax players with him to Old Trafford when he takes charge at end of the season.

The 52-year-old was announced as the Red Devils next permanent manager on a three-year contract with an option for a further year on April 22 to end months of speculation and searching by United chiefs. The Dutchman will link up with his new club when the season is over and is expected to oversee a huge revamp of the squad this summer, aided by football consultant Ralf Rangnick.

Interim boss Rangnick, who will combine his role with working as Austria's new manager, has made no attempt to hide the fact there will be significant changes to the squad this summer, with the German suggesting up to 10 players could arrive. And it had been reported Ten Hag was keen on bringing some of his Ajax stars to the Premier League as part of his move, with centre-back Jurrien Timber one of those linked.
