Erik ten Hag is not helping Ajax after doing this – Edwin van der Sar
Ajax CEO Edwin van der Sar has claimed Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is not helping Ajax after he acquired two players from his former club.
After leaving Ajax for Manchester United, Ten Hag returned to his former club to sign Lisandro Martinez and Antony.
Speaking to BT Sport, Van der Sar said: “The fate that Ajax has, we always develop and scout very good players and sometimes young players, if they want to take the next step, they always go to England, Germany, Spain, that kind of thing.
“So, of course we’re losing Erik [ten Hag]. We knew we were losing already a great manager. And yeah, he’s not really helping us.
“Of course, he took two of our best players also [Antony and Martinez], we got a good transfer fee for them. And of course, that is the fate a little bit that Ajax has.”
