Ex-Man Utd boss van Gaal blasts Ajax for coronavirus response



Louis van Gaal has accused former club Ajax of using coronavirus for their own gain.
Ajax technical director Marc Overmars called for the Eredivisie season to be declared over in the face of the global pandemic.
But van Gaal insists his former club mustn't be crowned champions without the season being finished.
"If it is established that the coronavirus has been defeated, you first have to finish the current competition," Van Gaal told the Algemeen Dagblad newspaper.
"Sports exists to find a winner, not to say after 25 matches we cut things off and Ajax is champion. But while the government has also been following the experts for weeks, some football clubs suddenly say that it is not possible - Ajax first.
"Clubs that misuse this corona crisis for their own gain and then make it a public health statement. I'm a man who can't take that."
