Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has explained why the club is buying former Ajax players.
Ten Hag insisted that he did not specifically request players he has worked with before.
Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui are the latest of the Dutchman’s ex-Ajax players to arrive at Old Trafford after joining from Bayern Munich this week.
United have previously brought in Lisandro Martínez, Antony and André Onana since Ten Hag’s appointment.
“First of all it is club decisions, none of them is only my decision,” Ten Hag said on Thursday.
“It is always backed or even brought up through the scouting, recruitment, technical director, sporting director.
“It is a decision made by more than just one. But, some, you know also players and personalities and it has to fit also in the finance.”
