Liverpool are being tipped to steal on march on Manchester United - by beating Erik ten Hag’s side to the signing of Dutch international Jurrien Timber in the summer transfer window.
Timber, 21, is widely expected to leave Ajax this summer as he attracts interest from Premier League clubs. The defender is enjoying another impressive season despite the Dutch giants' failure to defend the Eredivisie title which went to Feyenoord.
United are believed to be among the frontrunners for his signature amid plans to sign a new centre-back with uncertainty over the future of Harry Maguire, while Eric Bailly is set to leave having been on loan at Marseille.
