Man United 'target' Jurrien Timber makes transfer admission as Alejandro Garnacho drops shirt number hint

Ajax defender Jurrien Timber attracting interest after United transfer consideration

Ajax defender Jurrien Timber is attracting interest and the player has admitted a summer move away is likely. Timber was considered at Manchester United last summer and it's possible Erik ten Hag could reignite his interest in the player.

United agreed a fee of £46.8million, rising to £55.3m, with Ajax for Lisandro Martinez last year and that halted a move for Timber, although the player is still admired at Old Trafford after a stint working with Ten Hag in Amsterdam. Timber, 21, can play at centre-back and right-back and he's hopeful a move from Ajax will be green-lit at the end of the season.

A catalogue of United legends have donned the No.7 including Eric Cantona, David Beckham and George Best. And it seems Garnacho has his eye on becoming the next player to be bestowed the honour.
