Edwin van der Sar has accused Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag of "not really helping" Ajax by unapologetically raiding his former club in the summer transfer window.
Ten Hag turned to players he knows well to strengthen the Red Devils squad he inherited from Ralf Rangnick, first signing Lisandro Martinez from Ajax for £55million in late July. The defender was joined at Old Trafford by Antony one month later as United stumped up £85million to prise him from the Johan Cruyff Arena.
The duo's exits left the Amsterdam giants without key members of their spine, highlighted by the fact Martinez was crowned Player of the Year for their recent Eredivisie-winning campaign. Therefore, it is no surprise Ajax chief executive Van der Sar is less than pleased with former colleague Ten Hag.
