Ajax attacker Hassane Bande has criticised Manchester United target Erik ten Hag for axing him from his first-team plans, offering an insight into how ruthless the Dutchman can be.
Bande joined the Dutch heavyweights from Belgian outfit Mechelen back in December 2017 and was expected to replicate a similar level of form in the Netherlands to what he had produced in Belgium. However, he has struggled to make the grade at Ajax and is currently on loan at Istra 1961, where he has been since February last year.
But prior to leaving Ajax on loan, Bande was involved in an altercation with Ten Hag that saw him banished from the 52-year-old's first-team plans. The striker, in his first pre-season at the club, broke his calf bone and ruptured his ankle ligament, meaning he was sidelined for more than 12 months.
