Ajax defender Jurrien Timber attracting interest after Manchester United transfer consideration

Ajax defender Jurrien Timber is attracting interest and the player has admitted a summer move away is likely. Timber was considered at Manchester United last summer and it's possible Erik ten Hag could reignite his interest in the player.

United agreed a fee of £46.8million, rising to £55.3m, with Ajax for Lisandro Martinez last year and that halted a move for Timber, although the player is still admired at Old Trafford after a stint working with Ten Hag in Amsterdam.

Timber, 21, can play at centre-back and right-back and he's hopeful a move from Ajax will be green-lit at the end of the season.
