Manchester United target Jurrien Timber was pictured at Wembley before the FA Cup final ahead of a potential summer move.
The 21-year-old has been linked with moves to the Red Devils and bitter rivals Liverpool this summer. Still, the central defender’s appearance on Wembley Way before United’s 2-1 cup final defeat to Manchester City, spotted by Norwegian journalist Fredrik Fitvedt, seems to suggest that Erik Ten Hag’s men have won the race for the Dutchman’s signature.

Erik Ten Hag set to raid former club once more
Ten Hag has already shown he is not unwilling to return to his former club Ajax to negotiate deals for his squad, as seen by last summer’s moves for Brazilian winger Anthony and Argentinian defender Lisandro Martinez.
Timber is highly rated in the Netherlands but at just 5ft 10in, it is a concern the defender will not be able to deal with the physicality of the Premier League, with former Dutch ace Wesley Sneijder saying back in April, “He loses every header and in England, against the wardrobes in the Premier League, that will be his downfall”.
