Erik ten Hag told why Jurrien Timber is ideal partner for Harry Maguire at Manchester United

Erik ten Hag has been told how Jurrien Timber can help rejuvenate Harry Maguire at Manchester United.

As reported by the Manchester Evening News , Timber has been prioritised as United’s main defensive target this summer as Ten Hag builds his squad ahead of his first season in charge at Old Trafford.
