Man Utd boss Ten Hag urges Dutch football to forgive Overmars | OneFootball

Incoming Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has urged Dutch football to forgive Marc Overmars.

Ten Hag worked alongside former Arsenal winger Marc Overmars at Ajax helping to build a talented young team.

Overmars left the Eredivise champions back in February.

This came as a result of sending a series of "inappropriate messages" to female colleagues.

However, Ten Hag categorically stated that he believes Overmars could still have a future at Ajax.

As reported by newspaper Het Parool, he said: "If Johan Derksen can return to TV, Overmars can return to Ajax."

Ten Hag added: "We humans are in this world to help each other and not to shoot each other.

"I have said many times: this championship is also his championship. We built this team together.

"After the game against Heerenveen, I also congratulated Marc with the title via text.'"
