– Ajax’s scorers were Nicolas Tagliafico, Steven Berghuis, Sebastien Haller, Brian Brobbey and Edson Alvarez.

– It was a fitting farewell for Ten Hag, who United announced in April as their next manager.

– The Dutchman, 52, will take over from interim boss Ralf Rangnick at the end of this season on a three-year deal, which can be extended by a year.

– Ten Hag will become United’s fifth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

– He took over as Ajax head coach in December 2017 and led them to the league and cup double in 2018-19 and 2020-21.

– However, they were beaten 2-1 by PSV Eindhoven in this season’s Dutch Cup final.
