Manchester United is seeking the signing of a star player who is also coveted by Liverpool

According to a transfer report, Manchester United has intensified their efforts to sign 21-year-old defender Jurriën Timber this summer. Liverpool is also targeting the player, and his price is estimated to be around 50 million euros.

Timber has been a standout figure at Ajax and could be a solid long-term acquisition for both clubs. Therefore, Manchester United is determined to outpace their rivals in the race for his signature, and it remains to be seen if they can reach an agreement.

Manchester United is looking to strengthen their defense this summer, especially in the positions currently occupied by Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire. Timber certainly has the potential to become a top-class player in the near future.

In addition to his defensive quality, Timber also offers versatility, as he can play both as a center-back and a right-back. His ability to adapt to different positions would be an added advantage for both clubs.

Manchester United may have an advantage in the pursuit of the signing due to their qualification for the Champions League. Furthermore, Manchester United's manager, Erik ten Hag, has worked with the defender during their time together at Ajax, which could attract Timber to the idea of playing under the Dutchman once again.
