Timber would likely join as a prospect for the future, but could slot into the side immediately if Maguire's problems persist.The 20-year-old Dutch centre back broke into Ajax's first team back in 2020 and has more-or-less been a mainstay in the side this season.

It's understood that players have also had an input, with many of them keen on rooms for recreation.According to The Sun, the club will also be creating a 'quiet and chill-out zone', for their squad members to un-wind after morning sessions, and there are also plans to build a wellness area for activities like yoga and book reading.Leading the development at Carrington is Mags Mernagh - who was one the key figures behind Leicester City's newly-built £100 million training ground, which is rated as one of the very best in the country since it opened in 2020.Speaking during the latest edition of Sky Sports' The Overlap, former United defender Gary Neville urged the Glazer family to "reset the culture" at the club, insisting that one of the ways to do that was to revamp their out-of-date training ground."They then need to build a new training ground.
