Erik ten Hag 'wants to bring Ajax duo Jurrien Timber, Antony to Manchester United'

Incoming Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag is reportedly keen to sign Ajax duo Jurrien Timber and Antony during this summer's transfer window.

Timber and Antony have both been key players under Ten Hag at Ajax this term, with the former making 40 appearances in all competitions, while the latter has featured on 33 occasions, contributing 12 goals and 10 assists in the process.

The pair have been strongly linked with moves to Man United's since Ten Hag's move to Old Trafford was confirmed, and according to De Telegraaf, they are both leading targets for the 20-time English champions.

Antony largely features as a right-sided attacker, which is an area of the field that the Red Devils have struggled to fill in recent years, and the 22-year-old will allegedly be available for the right price this summer.

Timber, meanwhile, is believed to be viewed as the ideal defensive signing for the Premier League club, although the Netherlands international recently played down claims that he could move to Manchester.

Man United are believed to be wary of signing Eredivisie-based players due to the struggles of Memphis Depay and Donny van de Beek, but Ten Hag is expected to have a big say in the club's summer transfer plans.
