ERIK TEN HAG has urged his Manchester United stars not to let all the takeover talk blow their season of course.

United are the subject of two confirmed bids from Qatar and Britain's richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe - as owners the Glazers look to flog the club in a deal worth up to £6 billion.

But ten Hag has called on his players to avoid getting distracted ahead of the biggest week of their season so far.

United brushed Leicester aside at Old Trafford thanks to a brace from Marcus Rashford and further strike from Jadon Sancho. The win saw them close the gap on league leaders Arsenal to five points.

United now face a crunch Europa League showdown with Barcelona on Thursday night before facing Newcastle in Sunday's Carabao Cup Final.

And ten Hag said: "We are committed with this club, it is our club. We focus on football and perform and that is what the players and staff have to do.
