Who is Jurrien Timber? And Why Is He Ten Hag’s NUMBER 1 Transfer Target for Man Utd?

Statman Dave Clips ➡ http://bit.ly/StatmanClips Born in Utrecht, the Netherlands, on the 17th June 2001, Jurriën David Norman Timber is a full Dutch international who plays for Ajax. Timber began his footballing career in Utrecht before being snapped up by Feyenoord in 2008, ultimately moving to Ajax in 2014. Being given his senior debut by Erik Ten Hag in 2020, Timber has gone on to make 74 appearances for the club, been directly involved in 6 goals and has won 6 caps for the Dutch national team. He also succeeded Ryan Gravenberch in winning the Marco van Basten Award for the best Ajax Talent of the Year for 2022 but where does he play? ► SUBSCRIBE to STATMAN DAVE: http://bit.ly/StatmanDaveYoutube Jurrien Timber is a defender that’s mainly featured as a centre back, although at times he’s been deployed as a full back and even in defensive midfield. He’s played his best football for Ajax as a centre back, but due to Ten Hag’s fluid system, Timber has experience playing in a lot of positions all across the backline when his side have possession. Meanwhile, without the ball, the aggressive nature of Ten Hag’s press means that he happily follows opposition players into positions that centre backs tend to find uncomfortable such as into central midfield, or into the wide areas near the touchline. Timber is happy in these situations thanks to his impressive skill set: A highly mobile player, Timber has good recovery pace and is fairly strong for his size. He’s also a good 1 v 1 defender that reads the game well. Offensively, Timber is a very capable and composed passer that has the technical skill to carry the ball. Playing for an Ajax side that have averaged more than 63% possession during his two seasons in the squad, Timber spends more time attacking than he does defending. Extremely composed with the ball at his feet, Timber can appear to dwell on the ball but he does this to attract pressure - creating space and passing lanes for his teammates. What’s more is that if he lets a presser get too close, he can escape danger with a dribble by throwing a body feint and carrying into space. He’s also a very progressive passer and is capable of finding advanced teammates in space with accurate passes. Defensively he reads the game well and has good positioning. He combines this understanding of the game with an aggressive defending style to step in and regain possession for his side, often tackling the intended target before they can properly control or simply stepping in and making a clean interception. But where Timber really shines is when defending against the transition, especially in the final third. His reading of the game, speed and aggression sees him identify the outball before quickly closing the distance and putting in a challenge. Alternatively, if a player is dribbling out, Timber will drop off and either: wait for a poor touch so he can step in and tackle or he can cover the space in behind with his speed, either dropping off and making interceptions and ball recoveries or simply matching the ball carrier for pace. ► CHECK US OUT ON TWITCH: http://bit.ly/SMDTwitch So what does the future look like for the Dutch international? After a season and a half of professional football, Timber has already established himself as a key player for Ajax and at just 20 years old has attracted a lot of interest. He could play at all of the top European clubs, with Xavi’s Barcelona an interesting proposition but the most likely destination is following Erik ten Hag to Manchester United. At 20 years old Timber is not the finished article but he’s already an incredibly talented ball playing defender who would be a fine addition to most sides in Europe. But what do you think? Where do you think Timber will be playing next season? And do you think he’d be a good signing for Ten Hag’s Manchester United?
