Erik ten Hag tells Manchester United not to contact him in the 48 hours before Ajax matches, according to a report.

Erik ten Hag has reportedly instructed Manchester United not to contact him in the 48 hours before Ajax matches, as he wants to focus on the remainder of the Eredivisie season.

The Dutchman was recently confirmed as Man United's new head coach, and he will officially arrive at Old Trafford this summer to begin preparations for the 2022-23 campaign.

Ten Hag's Ajax team are currently in a race for the Eredivisie title, though, sitting four points clear of second-placed PSV Eindhoven at the summit with four games left.

The Amsterdam giants are next in action on Saturday against PEC Zwolle, and according to ESPN, Man United chiefs are not allowed to contact the 52-year-old in the 48 hours before Ajax games.

The report claims that Ten Hag does not want to be distracted before the end of the season, as he is bidding to lead his current team to back-to-back Eredivisie titles.

The Dutchman has agreed a deal with Man United until June 2025, with the option of an additional 12 months, and he has already allegedly been involved in decision-making for next term.

The Red Devils are battling for a Europa League spot for the 2022-23 campaign, currently sitting sixth in the Premier League table on 55 points.
