Jurrien Timber has been on Manchester United’s radar for quite some time now.
Following the latest reports that he could follow Erik Ten Hag to Old Trafford, former Netherlands striker Marco van Basten’s old comments about the centre-back have resurfaced.
It was after Ajax’s 5-1 Champions League group stage victory over Sporting in September last year that Van Basten revealed he was a big fan of the Manchester United target. He was quoted by Livefootballontv.net:
The Dutch legend took some time to praise Jurrien Timber’s ball-playing abilities, his pressing and his overall defensive prowess. Van Basten continued:
Manchester United in need of reinforcements
It goes without saying that the Red Devils have disappointed many with their performances this season.
As it stands, they’re well-poised to end the season without silverware, having crashed out of all tournaments and already out of the Premier League title race.
Manchester United will need to make a couple of signings in the summer to bolster their chances of claiming silverware next season. Signing a centre-back and a defensive midfielder should be their priority.
Adding a striker would also go a long way in boosting their options upfront.
