United boss Ten Hag gave Timber his Ajax debut in March 2020.
Ajax defender Jurrien Timber has hinted that he is ‘getting closer’ to leaving the club this summer.
The 21-year-old has been linked with a move to Manchester United and played under United manager Erik ten Hag at Ajax.
Ahead of Sunday’s Dutch Cup final against PSV, he has spoken to De Telegraaf about his future.
“A transfer is getting closer and closer, so to speak,” Timber said.
“There is a lot of concrete interest and I have made agreements with Ajax. Last year, Ajax asked me to stay for at least one more season and to extend my contract. As a club boy, I did that with love, and after the season we will review the situation.
“At the Dutch national team, I often talk to boys who play football abroad. I want to take that step someday. But when that is, you will eventually hear and it will happen in consultation with Ajax. I’m still here anyway and I’m in no hurry. The focus is now on the cup final and the remainder of the competition.”
Ten Hag gave Timber his Ajax debut in March 2020. Since then he has played over 100 times for the Dutch giants, winning Eredivisie titles in 2020/21 and 2021/22.

He's played RB loads of times at ajax for ten hag, has also played RB for Netherlands. Dumfries isn't great and Frimpong is decent AWB is better than them all a defending and is getting better at going forward only thing none of are RB or wingers can do is cross a ball 😂. Thoe Hernandez and Frimpong is what I'd go for
Wan bissaka is the best option for me regardless. But timber was suggest as a right back player for us, he is not a specialist in that position. “A card of treads but a master of none”. I wouldn’t go for timber as a CB or RB. That’s my thought you get me

We don’t need a makeshift right back, either buy a RB or no. Frimgpong or dumfries , they’re available

What is a tall Maguire doing stop thinking that ur smart when ur not😡
You’re not alright in the head. So halland against timber and Martinez who are like 5’8”. That’s a disaster. We need balance in football. Sadly for you, in football usually at least one center backs is dominant. That’s balance

he can play as rb
We need a specialist in that position. Not, “maybe he can play there”. Dumfries or frimpong are available.

I watched him at world cup he's very good defender better than Maguire,lindlof and even Varane he's very strong very good with or without ball he can adopt in to ten hag pressing style and starting possession from the base he's very confident boy unlike Maguire he can handle the pressure well,man utd need him that's why he tan hag want sign him last summer.
Better than varane? No chance.

Another normal overpriced player from the farmer leagues. Just look at Anthony Santos and Malencia how normal and overpriced?
Antony have a better debut season than 100mil grealish at city last season
