Man Utd send message to Erik ten Hag as he wins Eredivisie title with Ajax

Manchester United have congratulated their incoming head coach Erik ten Hag after he guided Ajax to a third Eredivisie title.

Ajax won the Dutch title with one game to spare after thrashing Heerenveen 5-0 at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Wednesday.




The victory sent Ajax four points clear of title rivals PSV Eindhoven ahead of Sunday’s final round of fixtures.

And it was the perfect farewell for Ten Hag, who was unveiled as Manchester United’s next manager in April.




After Ajax’s title win, a statement on the the Red Devils’ website said: ‘Our future manager Erik ten Hag won his third Eredivisie title with Ajax on Wednesday evening.

‘Ten Hag has a reputation as an attack-minded manager and that has certainly been evident with his side this term. Ajax have an impressive goal difference of 79, having scored 96 goals in the league so far.

‘Perhaps even more impressive is the defensive resilience of Ten Hag’s team. In 33 matches, Ajax have conceded a mere 17 goals, 15 fewer than the next nearest team.

‘Off the back of the Dutchman’s latest success, we look forward to welcoming Ten Hag to Old Trafford next season. Congratulations, Erik!’




Ten Hag, who moved to Ajax in December 2017, will become United’s fifth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

The 52-year-old has signed a three-year contract at Old Trafford and will take over from interim boss Ralf Rangnick, who has been in charge since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking in November.
