Man Utd ready to meet £36m price tag for defender

Man Utd unfazed by Ajax price tag for Timber

Man Utd ready to meet £36m price tag for defender

04 June 2022 - 20:49

Manchester United are unfazed by Ajax\'s asking price for defender Jurrien Timber, The Mirror reports.

  • Man Utd handed major injury boost for Liverpool game
  • Chelsea set asking price for Nicolas Jackson


  • The Red Devils are expected to sign a new central defender this summer, and Timber has been identified as the prime target.

    The club have already entered talks with Ajax for the 20-year-old, and they seem to be unfazed by the £36 million price tag.

    Erik ten Hag has urged the hierarchy to land the Dutchman, and it could be a matter of time before a formal proposal is made.

    Meanwhile, Timber\'s arrival could coincide with multiple exits. Eric Bailly and Axel Tuanzebe are expected to be sold by United.

    Aaron Wan-Bissaka has also been tipped to head for the exit door, but surprise reports claim that Phil Jones could stay put.

    Jones had a couple of good performances after his injury comeback this year, and United are not against the idea of keeping him.

    Aside from a central defender, United have been tipped to sign a new defensive midfielder, striker and a right-back.
