Jaap Stam has warned Manchester United that summer transfer target Jurrien Timber 'lacks aggression', claiming the Ajax centre-back would need to be meaner in the Premier League.
Timber, 21, is being eyed by Ten Hag, who's already signed two players from former club Ajax since becoming United's manager a year ago for a total of around £140million - Antony and Lisandro Martinez. The Red Devils boss was keen on reuniting with the Netherlands international last summer but Ajax held firm and he eventually agreed a new long-term contract.
But that fresh deal hasn't deterred United's interest, with a €50m (£44m) price tag believed to have been slapped on Timber this time around. Stam, though, as one of the Red Devils' greatest ever defenders, reckons that Ten Hag would be taking a risk on the youngster, who like United centre-back Martinez is only 5ft 9in.
