Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag remains a fan of former club Ajax.

Ajax suffered a 2-1 defeat at Liverpool in this week's Champions League clash.

And Voetbal International editor-in-chief Freek Jansen told the Pak Schaal Podcast: "Just before kick-off I got a message from Ten Hag. He was sitting ready and sent something like have fun there, thirty miles away is an Ajax fan in front of the TV. Hup, Ajax!

"After the match, we were in contact again. He said: this is the intensity you can encounter here. With a lot of Ajax players, you noticed that this is new. It's going forward, but it would be very crazy if you could have dominated at Anfield, one of the most difficult away games worldwide, too.

"Then there should have been a magic wand in Schreuder's trainer's bag. This was the maximum for this Ajax at the moment. And even then, you almost grab a point."
