ERIK TEN HAG has been handed an emotional return to Ajax… in a simulated Europa League draw.
Manchester United’s 1-0 win over Real Sociedad on Thursday night wasn’t enough for the Red Devils to top their group.
As a result they face a play-off tie against one of the teams to have dropped down from the Champions League, instead of being handed a bye to the Last 16.
That means the likes of Barcelona and Juventus are potential opponents.
But a simulated draw has handed Ten Hag and Co an even better tie – an emotional reunion with Ajax.
