Ajax manager Erik ten Hag confirms that he has not been contacted about the Manchester United job and is simply focused on winning trophies in Amsterdam.

Ajax manager Erik ten Hag has once again played down any talk linking him with the Manchester United job.

The Red Devils are believed to have made Mauricio Pochettino their number one candidate for the role, but Ten Hag is also thought to be on the shortlist of potential Ole Gunnar Solskjaer successors.

The 51-year-old has a contract at Ajax until the summer of 2023, though, and he has confirmed that no one has been in touch with him regarding a potential switch to Manchester.

Speaking to reporters at a press conference, Ten Hag said: "Man United interest? I am busy with Ajax. No one contacted me, I can confirm this. I want to win titles here."

Ten Hag boasts 136 wins from 185 games in charge of Ajax and has delivered two Eredivisie titles to the Amsterdam giants since taking the reins in December 2017.

United's start to life after Solskjaer kicked off in perfect fashion on Tuesday, as Michael Carrick oversaw a 2-0 win over Villarreal in the Champions League, which confirmed the Red Devils' spot in the last-16.
