Ajax starlet Jurrien Timber has hit out at “false” claims that former Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal talked him out of making a move to Old Trafford this summer.
The Dutch defender was linked with a switch to the club this summer with new Red Devils’ boss Erik ten Hag thought to be a big fan. In the end, Timber elected to remain in Amsterdam even going so far as penning a new contract with the reigning Eredivisie champions.
However, that only came after the Red Devils failed to agree a deal with Ajax, whilst former United boss Van Gaal was claimed to have advised Timber to reject a move to Old Trafford.
