Ajax keeper keen on Man Utd move

Ajax coach Martin Jol has hinted that Stekelenburg is a target for Manchester United.

“That is a club where everyone wants to play,” Stekelenburg told Dutch sports magazine NuSport.

“If Jol said he is aware of the interest, I will take notice.

“(However) my agent and I haven’t heard anything yet.”

Stekelenburg’s contract is set to expire in the summer of 2012 and the goalkeeper insists he will not be extending his deal at Ajax.

“No it won’t happen,” he added. “If you look at my contract it has only one year left after this season.

“Ajax wants money for me and I have no problem with that. Financially, it would be the most interesting to sell me this summer.

“However only I will decide about my future. I want to go to a top league and not to a relegation candidate.

“Otherwise I prefer to stay for one year longer at Ajax. I don’t have to leave (next summer).”

“I won’t leave this winter break,” he said. “Kenneth (Vermeer) won’t be fit at that time and I don’t prefer a move at that time.

“I started this season at Ajax to battle for the title and the Champions League adventure and I want to be there until the end.

“I believe in this squad. We can do a lot of beautiful things.”
