Louis van Gaal admitted Jurrien Timber was playing on “his final legs” after the Manchester United target struggled in his latest outing with the Netherlands.
Timber was substituted just after the hour mark as the Dutch had to fight back from 2-0 down against Poland to rescue a 2-2 draw in the Nations League. Davy Klaassen and Denzel Dumfries’ goals saw them fight back after Matty Cash and Piotr Zielinski’s strikes had put the visitors ahead, although former United forward Memphis Depay missed the chance to complete a comeback victory as he missed a stoppage-time penalty.
United fans will no doubt have been watching on with interest, with transfer targets Timber and Frenkie de Jong in action for the Netherlands. Erik ten Hag is eager to reunite with his two former Ajax protégés as he begins his rebuild at Old Trafford.
