New Ajax boss Alfred Schreuder has again underlined the fact that Jurrien Timber is set to remain at Ajax despite interest from Manchester United.
Erik ten Hag left the Amsterdam outfit to take over at Old Trafford in the summer and was always likely to pursue some of his former players as he sought new recruits. A new centre-half is on his shopping list such was their interest in Timber.
The 21-year-old was a shining light last term as Ajax claimed another Eredivisie title, but he looks set to turn down United's advances. Schreuder claimed the player is "very smart" as he acknowledged he had more to achieve in the Dutch capital.
