Erik ten Hag said he won’t travel to Dutch champions Ajax Amsterdam for their post-season outing to Curacao and will rather direct his concentration toward his new job as Manchester United manager.
Ten Hag, who was named United director last month to take over from interval manager Ralf Rangnick, shows up at Old Trafford having driven Ajax to their third back to back Eredivisie title.
“Yes, there will be a party with the entire (Ajax) staff but that will be it. I will not be joining them to Curacao. I think that’s understandable,” Ten Hag said.
“There’s a lot of work to be done at United. There’s a lot of work at every club. A manager’s job is especially focused on the preparations for next season. And there’s a lot of work to be done in that regard,” he added.
“Regarding the staff, there are several things that need to be organised. Also regarding the team and over the next several days, or actually as of Monday, we will be focusing on that intensively.”
Manchester United, who are 6th in the Premier League, travel to Crystal Palace for the last game of the season on May 22.
