Ajax chief Gerry Hamstra has seemingly confirmed Erik ten Hag is on the way to Manchester United after failing to sign a new contract with the Amsterdam giants.
The newly-appointed technical director - who has replaced Marc Overmars - was quizzed about Ten Hag ahead of Sunday afternoon's Dutch Cup final against PSV Eindhoven and confessed he had tried "everything" to keep hold of their manager to no avail so far. Hamstra even confirmed there was a new contract on the table for the Dutchman and vowed to continue his efforts to convince him to stay.
"I can be very succinct about that," he told ESPN Netherlands of Ten Hag's situation. "We have done everything we can and are doing everything we can to keep him on board. Contract extension offered? Yes. More money? Everything that comes with it, without going into detail."
