Erik ten Hag has claimed his Ajax players have retained their focus despite the hysteria surrounding his appointment as Manchester United manager.
The 52-year-old was recently announced as the next permanent boss to take up the Old Trafford hot seat. Despite this, Ten Hag still has an objective to achieve with Ajax as they look to retain their Eredivisie crown.
His future club and current side have had contrasting seasons as United's hopes of even finishing in the top four appear to be over. Meanwhile, Ajax's 3-0 win over PEC Zwolle moved them seven points clear at the top of the table ahead of PSV Eindhoven's clash on Sunday.

Although he will be swapping Amsterdam for Manchester at the end of the season, Ten Hag has demonstrated his mentality by claiming he has continued to demand 100 per cent from his Ajax players. "My players are always focused and that is what we demand," he said at his post-match press conference.
"That is in our process. What you see, it’s always spirit in this team, the fighting spirit and we need that attitude to win games and, finally, win championships. That we will do, but we have to live from game to game, we will do that."
