FOOTBALL Is Erik ten Hag's return to Ajax on cards as Manchester United struggle continues?
Amid Manchester United's struggles, speculation grows over Erik ten Hag's potential return to Ajax, where he once found success.
Ajax struggles
The Son of Gods are currently going through a crisis and are currently under their third manager since the departure of Erik Ten Hag to Manchester United.
The Dutch team enjoyed a renaissance under the former Ultrech boss, winning three league titles and reaching the Champions League semi-final.
However, since he left, Ajax have seen a downturn, finishing 23 points behind champions Feyenoord last season. This season has been worse for them, and they currently find themselves placed 17th on the league table, a relegation spot in the Eredivisie.
What Oliseh said
The 1996 Olympic gold medalist won one league title and two Dutch Cups with Ajax in his two seasons at the club.
He is concerned about the club’s current struggles, taking to social media to express his disappointment.
