Erik ten Hag terminates Ajax contract six weeks early to start work at Man Utd on Monday

Erik ten Hag will begin work as Manchester United boss on Monday after quitting his job as Ajax boss with immediate effect.

Ten Hag agreed an early start to the job with United, after agreeing an early release from his contract with Ajax. The 52-year-old said: "I am switching very rapidly, yes. But is it really necessary, because a lot of things need to be dealt with."

Ajax confirmed Ten Hag's departure on Sunday via their website. His main concern is that he wants to build a good squad and feels he must be involved in all the talks and negotiations with current players and those United intend to sign.
