Ex-United boss meets Ajax chief as rumours swirl

Erik ten Hag has spoken with Ajax director Ted Kroes about a possible return to Amsterdam after leaving Bayer Leverkusen on 1 September. The Dutchman, 55, won three Eredivisie titles with Ajax before moving to Manchester United in 2022.

Ajax’s season is wobbling, and fans dream of Ten Hag coming back faster than a misplaced back pass at De Toekomst.
