"[Erik ten Hag] has been doing well with us for years and Manchester United has been doing badly for years." That's what Davy Klaassen said when asked for his thoughts on speculation linking his current Ajax manager with the Old Trafford vacancy.
The former Everton midfielder also wanted to make it clear that his manager was under contract at Ajax until 2023 and an exit was far from a guarantee. This comes after Pep Guardiola earlier this week praised Ten Hag and suggested him as a candidate to succeed him at the Etihad Stadium next summer.
Guardiola said of Ten Hag: “An incredible person, and human being. I was surprised at how humble and good (he was at Bayern Munich). The qualities he has, just look at his Ajax team in the last years. A joy to watch, in many, many things."
