Erik ten Hag picked Jurrien Timber as Ajax's Talent of the Year and the centre back has starred for Holland aged 20... so, after he was compared to Matthijs de Ligt, is the defender the answer to Manchester United's woes?

Jurrien Timber could be the perfect transfer target to bring stability and composure to Manchester United's struggling defence as new boss Erik ten Hag looks to rebuild the squad.

The 20-year-old Ajax centre back has been heavily linked with a £43million move to Old Trafford this summer to follow in the footsteps of his former boss ten Hag.

Timber has already become a star for both Ajax and for Holland - but is still relatively new to the world stage.
