Rafael van der Vaart has given Jurrien Timber a glowing endorsement as he remains a target for Manchester United.
The Ajax defender enjoyed a stellar season as the Amsterdam outfit claimed the Eredivisie title under Erik ten Hag, who is now calling the shots at Old Trafford. He could yet return to raid his former club as he looks to bolster his ranks over the coming months.
Defensive options are set to be on Ten Hag's wishlist and Timber has been among those most heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford. Raphael Varane arrived last summer from Real Madrid but issues remain in United's backline and Timber may be pursued as a result.
