Ajax defender Jurrien Timber plays down claims that he could join Manchester United in the upcoming market.

Ajax defender Jurrien Timber has played down suggestions that he could join Manchester United during this summer's transfer window.

The 20-year-old has been in impressive form for his Dutch club during the 2021-22 campaign, making 40 appearances in all competitions, contributing three goals and one assist in the process.

Incoming Man United boss Erik ten Hag is allegedly keen to bring Timber with him to Old Trafford this summer.

However, the Netherlands international has said that he is "good" in Amsterdam and will continue to be happy while the club "play in the Champions League".

"I'm good at Ajax. I can still learn a lot, especially if we continue to play in the Champions League," Timber told Het Parool.

"He deserves it (the Man United job). Ten Hag has been very important to me personally. Under him I became the footballer, the man I am today. The coach talked to me a lot. He's been very critical, in a good, constructive way. I won't forget it any time soon."

Timber, who has two years left to run on his contract with Ajax, has largely played as a centre-back this season but is also capable of operating as a full-back.
