Incoming Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is eager to be reunited with an Ajax defender.

Reports in The Mirror state that ten Hag wants to secure Jurrien Timber from his former club this summer.

The 20-year-old has been a key aspect of ten Hag's backline at Ajax.

He is versatile, quick, and very competent on the ball, which are qualities that ten Hag values in his defenders.

The source states that United are one of the top clubs vying for Timber's signature.

Despite a lack of Champions League football, the presence of ten Hag may sway Timber in their direction.
