Manchester United fans hijack Jurrien Timber message to share same transfer demand

Manchester United fans have ambushed Jurrien Timber on Instagram to demand that he signs for the Old Trafford giants. Timber started for the Netherlands on Friday night as they clocked up a staggering 4-1 victory over Belgium in their Nations League showdown.

Goals from Steven Bergwijn, former United attacker Memphis Depay (2) and Denzel Dumfries settled the scores in Brussels and the Netherlands - with Timber part of the defensive unit alongside Virgil van Dijk and Manchester City player Nathan Ake - were rock solid until breached three minutes into added time. By that point the game was up.

United have identified Timber as one priority target this summer as Erik ten Hag sets about a much-needed rebuild. Frenkie de Jong has also been earmarked for the engine room.

Pursuits for both players will be drawn to a conclusion, one way or another, in the coming weeks when the market reopens, but for 20-year-old Ajax star Timber the message is loud and clear. Here are a selection of comments made by United supporters in reply to his latest post on social media platform Instagram;
