Ajax 'ban the English media' from attending Erik ten Hag's post-match press conference with the Dutchman closing in on the Manchester United job as they 'want him to focus on the Eredivisie title race'

Ajax have reportedly banned the English media from attending manager and Manchester United candidate Erik ten Hag's press conference on Saturday.

The Dutchman appears to be edging closer to the managerial vacancy at Old Trafford this week with the Red Devils reportedly close to appointing him.

Talks are underway with Ajax to secure the terms for his release with United paying compensation of just over £1.6million to secure his services.

Ten Hag's move to the club is likely to be confirmed before the end of the season, with United chiefs believing he is the right man to take the club back to the top.
