Erik ten Hag says Ajax players are excited for him as he prepares to take over as Manchester United manager — and the Dutchman even took them gaming to compensate. United confirmed the appointment of Ten Hag on Thursday morning and he'll begin work in the summer.
Before then, the 52-year-old and his Ajax team are chasing a third Eredivisie title in four seasons — although dreams of a double were ended by PSV in the Dutch Cup final seven days ago. Moving forward Ten Hag will be tasked with helping United to their first silverware since the 2016/2017 campaign.
After watching United slip to a 3-1 defeat against Arsenal — which all-but ended their top-four hopes — on Saturday Ten Hag guided Ajax to a 3-1 victory which puts them four points clear at the Eredivisie summit.
