Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has explained why the club is buying former Ajax players.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag insisted that he did not specifically request players he has worked with before.<\/p>\n

Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui are the latest of the Dutchman\u2019s ex-Ajax players to arrive at Old Trafford after joining from Bayern Munich this week.<\/p>\n

United have previously brought in Lisandro Mart\u00ednez, Antony and Andr\u00e9 Onana since Ten Hag\u2019s appointment.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all it is club decisions, none of them is only my decision,\u201d Ten Hag said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is always backed or even brought up through the scouting, recruitment, technical director, sporting director.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
