Erik ten Hag was in no mood to discuss his imminent move to Manchester United in the wake of Ajax’s loss to PSV Eindhoven in the Dutch Cup final.
‘I think this is the time to end the press conference,’ said the Ajax boss when the subject was raised. ‘I will need 24 hours to recover from this.’
His team were floored by two goals in the space of three minutes shortly after half-time after a well-taken Ryan Gravenberch goal put them ahead.
It means Ten Hag won’t sign off in Amsterdam by winning another Double but Ajax can still win the league title.
