Jurrien Timber has been identified as a priority defensive target for Manchester United and that would-be transfer could see the Netherlands starlet grab his dream shirt number. Timber, 20, is currently away with the national team for their ongoing Nations League charge.
After bursting on to the scene under Erik ten Hag at Ajax - renowned for producing world-class talents - Timber is among several players being tipped to follow the Dutchman to Old Trafford in time for next season. He remains the top target for United and Ten Hag when it comes to their search for a centre-back.
Other items on the radar for his much-needed rebuild include at least one central midfielder and a versatile option in attacking quarters. Timber could well be the first to arrive if he agrees to a switch - but what shirt number would the defender be assigned?
