Confirmed: Jurrien Timber and Frenkie de Jong send message to Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag

 Frenkie de Jong and Ajax starlet Jurrien

 Timber have paid tribute to Manchester

 United manager Erik ten Hag amid 

ongoing transfer links. Ten Hag waved 

goodbye to the Amsterdam giants on 

Sunday afternoon following his hugely

 successful four-and-a-half year tenure

 as coach.



During that time Ten Hag won three 


Eredivise titles and two KNVB Cup trophies


. He also paved the way for a new generation


 at Ajax - including Barcelona midfielder


 de Jong and Timber - to emerge on the 


European platform when they reached the


 Champions League semis in 2019, albeit


 before Timber progressed through 


the ranks.


That adventure led to De Jong getting his 


big chance at the Nou Camp. However


, moving forward, there is growing anticipation


 that he might be reunited with Ten Hag


 in the Premier League.



The Manchester Evening News understands


 United are weighing up a £75million 


charge for De Jong, 25, as part of their 


upcoming recruitment drive. As for 


Timber, meanwhile, the centre-back 


has been mooted as one possible option


 as Ten Hag aims to strengthen in 


that area, too.



A pursuit there has been 


 by comments made by ten Hag on Sunday


 afternoon. Since then, Ajax players past 


and present have teamed-up to share their


 gratitude for the inbound United manager.



Posted on social media, De Jong and Timber


 were among those to speak in a four-minute


 video clip which featured familiar faces 


such as Edwin van der Sar and Daley Blind


. This comes after Ajax sent out another


 classy tribute to Ten Hag on Sunday 


afternoon following his final game


 in charge.



Speaking on the video, De Jong said: "It 


was a great time, in which you have shown


 results with attractive football. You have 


proven yourself to be a top trainer and 


you've deserved this step. I want to 


wish you good luck."



Timber, 20, added: "I want to thank you


 and wish you good luck. You made me 


grow as a player and as a person. We 


did great things, achieved great things,


 things you can be proud of. A great 


step to a big club with big players and 


in a big competition. I hope you and 


Manchester United enjoy the football 


you are going to play."

  Jules Koundé will be  ‘sacrificed’  by  Sevilla this summer as Chelsea look  to sign him again after missing out last year. That’s  according to La Colina de Nervion ,  who say Sevilla’s poor performances in  Europe this season  ‘will force them to  sell’  a player this summer, and Koundé  is the likely candidate. He flirted with the Premier League and  Chelsea last summer, and this year will  be no different once he has finished  the campaign in Spain. Sevilla made a huge effort to keep him  last summer in the hope there would  be a big achievement this season, but  that is likely to be restrained to a third straight  Champions League qualification, a success  in itself but less than what the club  were hoping for. They were disappointing in the Champions  League and Europa League, and those  poor performances mean they  ‘need  to sell in the summer transfer wi...

Confirmed:Fernandes and Telles dropped,Manchester United best suitable line up to beat Chelsea (3-4-2-1)

  Chelsea won’t be an easy  opposition with the last three  meetings ending in draws, but  many United stars are playing  for their futures. With a huge rebuild expected this  summer, a number of players have  a point to prove to incoming head  coach Erik ten Hag. Formation:  3-4-2-1 Predicted Line-up: David de Gea has been one of the  stand-out performers for United this  campaign. He came up with a couple  of crucial saves against the Gunners , but was not sufficient to pick up  points. There are no doubts over  his position between the sticks. Ralf Rangnick may try to match  the Blues’ three-at-the-back formation,  something that has been done by  several clubs against them. In  this case, Harry Maguire could  be reinstated into the heart of the  defence alongside Raphael  Varane and Victor Lindelof. Diogo Dalot started nervously  against the Gunners with a couple  of de...
