Erik ten Hag refuses to deny he will become Manchester United manager

Erik ten Hag has refused to deny he will become the next manager of Manchester United, insisting he has not discussed his imminent move to Old Trafford out of respect for Ajax.

Ten Hag verbally agreed the framework of a deal on Tuesday morning after RB Leipzig had sounded out the 52-year-old with a 'crazy' offer at the weekend.

United responded by presenting Ten Hag with a three-year contract that includes the option for a fourth year.
