Man United interested in Ajax defender Jurrien Timber

Manchester United remain undeterred in their efforts to sign Ajax defender Jurrien Timber.

The Red Devils will sign at least one new centre-back in the summer transfer window, with the likes of Eric Bailly, Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe set to leave Old Trafford ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.

Timber has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United over the last few months, and according to Fabrizio Romano, the 20-time English champions have a ‘concrete and serious’ interest in the 20-year-old defender.

The Dutchman has impressed for Ajax during the 2021-22 campaign, contributing three goals and two assists in 43 appearances across all competitions.

The Netherlands international only has a little over two years remaining on his contract, and it is suggested that the youngster could be available for a fee somewhere in the region of £30m.
