The 21-year-old Timber has impressed the entire continent after producing some fantastic performances in Ajax's defense, writes Periscopi. .
Manchester United's new coach, Eric ten Hag, was keen to bring Timber to Old Tuffford, but he was unable to tempt his former club to sell the highly esteemed Dutch.
Timber is now looking for a safe place on Louis van Gaal's team for the Qatar World Cup.
The captain of the Netherlands, Van Dijk, who is considered one of the best defenders in world football, has now praised Ajax's new star.
Livepool player said: “I wasn't as far as he now [at the same age].
I have nothing but praise for it. He's a big player and a real professional.
He has a lot of potential. I hope he can develop further. Then it's going to be okay, I think”, Van Dijk said.
