The picture has to be perfect. You could move to a big club, but you do want to play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you won\u2019t play, it would be better to stay at Ajax. Ajax is also a huge club, we play Champions League football\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It is clear that the 20-year-old is seeking first-team football. After all, the defender played 43 times this season as Ajax secured the Eredivisie title.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, a stay in Amsterdam would present Timber with another season of Champions League football. A move to Manchester United would leave the Dutchman playing in the Europa League.<\/p>\n<h3>What Manchester United Need<\/h3>\n<p>New manager Erik ten Hag, who has obviously just arrived after working with Timber, is looking for a centre-back that can also play at right-back. The Dutchman ticks both boxes.<\/p>\n<p>The new head coach has <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/05\/28\/manchester-united-summer-transfer-budget-revealed\/\" target=\"_self\">made this a priority<\/a> position to be addressed in the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag is looking to strengthen in both areas after making Eric Bailly, Phil Jones and Aaron Wan-Bissaka available for transfer.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are other areas of the pitch that Manchester United need to strengthen but the former Ajax boss has made Timber a key target as the summer transfer window fast approaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ajax defender Jurri\u00ebn Timber has spoken on his future, with Manchester United monitoring the situation.
