The emergence of the names Jurrien Timber and Pau Torres made Erik Ten Hag’s main focus with Manchester United exposed. This Dutch tactician wants to first improve the Red Devils’ defense.
In the 2021-2022 Premier League, Manchester United conceded 57 times. The number of goals conceded is the most compared to the occupants of the top six.
Therefore, Pau Torres and Jurrien Timber are expected to boost Manchester United’s defense next season. Jurrien Timber is Erik Ten Hag’s mainstay defender at Ajax Amsterdam.
Thanks to the help of Jurrien Timber, Ajax Amsterdam is listed as the team with the strongest defense in the 2021-2022 Dutch League. From 34 appearances, Ajax Amsterdam’s goal only conceded 19 goals and led to the title.
The 20-year-old defender can also be counted on to help attack. It is evident from 43 matches with Ajax Amsterdam in the 2021-2022 season, Timber has scored three goals.

What about Pau Torres? The defender of the Spanish national team performed nicely in guarding the Villarreal defense.
The presence of Pau Torres helps Villarreal qualify for the 2021-2022 Champions League semifinals. Even Villarreal would almost qualify for the 2021-2022 Champions League final if they weren’t hit by a comeback from Liverpool in the semifinals.
Even so, Pau Torres and Jurrien Timber is not the last player to be brought in Manchester United in the summer transfer window of 2022. Ajax Amsterdam winger Anthony Santos and Barcelona midfielder, Frenkie de Jong, are also on Erik Ten Hag’s radar.
