Interesting developments are underway at Ajax in the run-up to the cup final. On Sunday, the team from Amsterdam will play against PSV in De Kuip and in advance there is a lot to do about who is under the bar. “I never give my line-up before the game,” says Ajax coach Erik ten Hag.

“He is not in his best shape,” says Ten Hag about the shooting goalkeeper Andre Onana. The Cameroonian made several mistakes against Benfica, FC Groningen and Sparta Rotterdam. That seems to cost him his starting place, because yesterday it was announced that Maarten Stekelenburg will be under the bar† “I never announce the line-up before the game. You will see on Sunday.”
“We have fought very hard to get here, we are still fighting for two titles,” says Ten Hag when it comes to the cup final against PSV. “They are the two best teams in the Netherlands. That’s what it’s about, we want to win those prizes. We live for that. Every game gives pressure.”

Manchester United
Earlier this week, the news came out that Erik ten Hag would agree verbally with Manchester United. The Ajax coach kept his jaws tight at the press conference and announced that he was only busy with his current employer. Captain Dusan Tadic, on the other hand, said that he hopes Ten Hag will stay with Ajax.
