What did Louis van Gaal tell the Manchester United target

Louis van Gaal was looking for out his Dutch players ahead of the World Cup this summer and wanted everyone to get enough minutes under their belts at their respective clubs. He also issued the same advice to Timber and was quoted by The Athletic as saying: "If he has to make this big step now, that's the question. It is not so wise I think (to move to United). He has to play." The advice was widely reported as a warning to the defender to reject the move and stay at Ajax. The transfer eventually did not come to fruition and was blamed on the Dutch manager by fans on social media. ??? ???? @TheEuropeanLad - Jurriën Timber speaks out to @ADnl: "Many things that are written in the media are false.
