The former Netherlands No. 1 has overseen a renaissance for Ajax in recent seasons, leading to interest from Old Trafford
Ajax chief executive officer Edwin van der Sar has rejected speculation linking him with a return to Manchester United.
The former United goalkeeper is reportedly a target for the Premier League club as they seek to appoint their first sporting director.
A move back to the Premier League does not appear to be on the cards for the 48-year-old, who was asked about the links to United after playing in Vincent Kompany's Manchester City testimonial on Wednesday.
"No, I'm focused on my job as chief executive at Ajax," Van der Sar told reporters.
"We had a fantastic year in Europe last year, also won the league in Holland.
"We want Ajax at a higher European level and making sure we get back to the elite. That's what we're working on.
"I'm enjoying my time at Ajax. We touched the top level last year and we have to make sure we have the best opportunity to stay there."
United have only won one of their opening four Premier League matches this season following a 1-1 draw at Southampton prior to the international break.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's United welcome unbeaten Leicester City to Old Trafford on Saturday.

Van Der Sar Will Never Return To United. The Reason Is Simple~~~ He Clearly Knows That No Matters What Decisions (Signing And Selling Of Players.., Renewing And Terms Of Contracts Etc) He Make.., Woodclown Will Still Be The One To Approve All Eventually. So What's The Point Of Going To United If You Can't Do What You Are Supposed To Do......
