The Dutch duo locked horns in the Eredivisie as Slot led Feyenoord and Ten Hag guided Ajax.

Reports have suggested this has been met with uneasiness by Ten Hag as he looks to negotiate a new contract with the United boardroom. "I don't think there is much of a change between a head coach and a manager, it's just that by being a head coach I can go in fully to the things I would like to do. Allowing to alleviate some of the pressure on the United manager is the only way we will see the best of both him and in turn, the club.
