At a press conference, ex-Man United head coach Louis van Gaal was asked to comment on his former club’s interest in Jurrien Timber who plays for him in the Dutch national side.
“I think a player of his quality can play in the Premier League. That is not a problem,” Van Gaal said about the Ajax centre-back.
“If he has to make this big step now, that’s the question… it is not so wise I think (to join Manchester United). He has to play.”
A few months ago, Van Gaal also advised Erik ten Hag to move to an ‘actual football club’ rather than to Man United which he described as a ‘commercial club’.
The 70-year-old clearly has his thoughts about United dating back to his time there. We can’t be sure if he’s fully objective in his opinion, though.
