Erik ten Hag's list of potential Manchester United targets includes the Ajax youngster.
Jurrien Timber hopes to represent the Netherlands in the World Cup this winter.
Jurrien Timber hopes to represent the Netherlands in the World Cup this winter.
Following Louis Van Gaal's World Cup warning, Manchester United's interest in Jurrien Timber appeared to have cooled in recent weeks. The former Manchester United manager, who is now the head coach of the Netherlands national team, told the defender that if he joins the Reds and fails to earn regular game time, he may not be selected for Qatar.
As a result, reports claim that the centre-half has reconsidered a move to England. Erik ten Hag is looking for a defensive player, as well as a midfielder and an attacker, this summer.
He was interested in the 21-year-old, who can also play right back, after the pair won the Dutch title together at Ajax last month. Tyrell Malacia of Feyenoord appears to be Ten Hag's first signing as United manager.
Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha explained how Timber's reaction to Van Gaal's ultimatum will demonstrate his mental fortitude. He argued that if he is confident in his abilities, he will join United.
"He's not working for Manchester United, so he's allowed to give advice to his international players," he explained to bonuscodebets. If the player is physically capable of coming, he will.
He'll do it if he listens to his national team manager, and it's best if he stays where he is because he's not a very confident player. It is up to the players to make the decision, not the national team manager. If he wishes to visit Manchester United, he is more than welcome.
rik ten Hag knows what he wants, as evidenced by the names linked with Manchester United this summer. Several of the Dutchman's former players are thought to be on the Old Trafford club's radar, with Frenkie de Jong, Jurrien Timber, Lisandro Martinez, and Matthijs de Ligt all mentioned as possible targets.
Anthony has also been heavily linked with ten Hag, who is looking to bolster his United squad on the right wing. However, the PremierPINC League club only spent £73 million to address this shortcoming last summer. Jadon Sancho was regarded as Manchester United's next great right winger. That is the position he was hired for.
This was before Sancho began to produce his best performances for his new team on the left wing, and United's interest in Anthony suggests the England international will remain there under ten Hag. The acquisition of Anthony this summer would demonstrate that the acquisition of Sancho last summer was a mistake.
Of course, Anthony and Sancho are both talented players who could contribute significantly to Manchester United's success in the coming years. While Sancho began slowly, he grew into his role on the left side, especially after the interim appointment of Ralf Rangnick, who understood how to get the most out of the former Borussia Dortmund winger.
