ERIK TEN HAG reacted angrily when asked about being linked with a move to Manchester United.
Reports this week claimed the Red Devils were set to finalise the appointment of Ten Hag following the conclusion of their managerial interviews.
Naturally, that led the Dutchman to be questioned about his future – even though Ajax have banned English journalists speaking to the manager.
And it appears Ten Hag is fed up of the questioning – warning press to stop focusing on off-pitch matters.

But he does look likely to take over with betting suspended on the next United manager.
There has even been talk of who his assistant might be with Steve McClaren and Robin van Persie two names linked.
