'Sometimes I thought "you're a weird man"... but you surpassed all expectations!': Edwin van der Sar pays an emotional tribute to Erik ten Hag after Ajax's title win, as his attention turns to Man United

Edwin van der Sar paid tribute to Erik ten Hag on the pitch after Ajax sealed the Eredivisie title as the Dutchman prepares to leave the club to join Manchester United.

Ajax were crowned Dutch champions in style as they thrashed Heerenveen 5-0 at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Wednesday, giving Old Trafford-bound Ten Hag the perfect send-off.

Victory handed Ten Hag, who will join United at the end of the season, his third title from four completed campaigns with the club.
