Erik Ten Hag Tells Man United Bosses 'Not To Bother Him In The 48 Hours' Before Ajax Games

​Erik ten Hag has reportedly told Manchester United bosses 'not to bother him in the 48 hours' before Ajax games. 

Ten Hag has officially been announced as Man United's next permanent manager and will replace Ralf Rangnick at the end of the season. 

But he still has a job to do at Ajax before he takes over at Old Trafford and has even told the club's chiefs not to distract him in the build up to matches, according to ESPN.

Ajax are in the race for the Eredivisie title as they currently occupy top spot, four points ahead of PSV Eindhoven - with just four league fixtures left of the season. ​

He's hoping to deliver a third Dutch title for the club, having previously won it in the 2018/19 and 2020/21 seasons. ​

Ten Hag made the request during the negotiations to become the Man United boss. ​

Ajax return to action on Saturday when they host PEC Zwolle.

Their run-in also includes fixtures against AZ Alkmaar and Heerenveen​ before ending their campaign at Vitesse​ on May 15. 

​Man United, meanwhile, gained a point against Chelsea but produced another underwhelming performance. 

Speaking after Man United's 1-1 with Chelsea on Thursday, Roy Keane gave his thoughts on Ten Hag's appointment. 

"I think it is a good appointment, with all the speculation it has been on the cards for the last few months and I think the club will be glad just to get the deal done," he said on Sky Sports. 

"He can start looking at the club, albeit from the background because he does not start until July.

"He has got a solid CV, a good reputation but the proof is in the pudding and we will see what he is like when he is in job and whether he can get Manchester United back to where they need to be."
