Erik ten Hag remains focused on sealing Eredivisie title with Ajax

Erik ten Hag insists he is still focused on finishing the season with Ajax despite his impending move to Manchester United.

The 52-year-old was confirmed as Man United's next manager last month and will take charge at Old Trafford in the summer.

But with Ajax on the verge of wrapping up the Eredivisie title, he reiterated his current focus on the job in hand amid growing media interest in his new job.

'Ajax is also big and I am used to it,' Ten Hag said on Friday. 'I am not interested in media, I am interested in my work. Working with my team and my players. That is what I have been doing and what I will keep doing.'

When asked how he would handle the personalities in the United dressing room, he added: 'They are questions for the future and not for this moment.

'I want to answer questions about Ajax. We are in an important race and an important week. I focus on this. I pay attention to Ajax and not to Manchester United at this moment.'

Ten Hag then insisted that there are no deals in place for Ajax stars to join him at United.

'No, there are no agreements about that. I now have very good players, but it's not an issue at all.'

Interim boss Ralf Rangnick has confirmed he will not speak with Ten Hag until the end of the season

'We will definitely speak at the end of the season,' Rangnick said. 'Both Erik and myself want to have our full focus on the outstanding games. He has three to play and will do everything to win the title in the Netherlands.

'We have agreed we will have a chat and speak about everything at the end of the season.
