Jurrien Timber becomes latest Man Utd transfer target set to reject Erik ten Hag

Jurrien Timber is set to become the latest Manchester United transfer target reject the club with the Netherlands international expected to stay at Ajax this summer.

According to Dutch outlet De Telegraaf, per Metro, the 21-year-old feels that a move to Old Trafford is too big of a risk at this stage of his fledgling career and could opt to stick with Ajax. He had been identified by Erik ten Hag as an option to bolster United's back four after the Red Devils posted the worst defensive record out of last season's Premier League top seven.

Timber, a centre-back who can also play on the right of defence, enjoyed an excellent season in the Eredivisie as Ajax lifted the title. He featured in every league game as the Amsterdam club pipped PSV and Feyenoord to win the league for the third time in four seasons.
