Ajax goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg has not ruled out a move to Manchester United as he considers quitting the Amsterdammers next summer. [LNB] The Holland international, who is out of contract with the Dutch giants in 2012, is expected to leave Amsterdam at the end of the season. [LNB]Ajax coach Martin Jol has linked Stekelenburg with a switch to Old Trafford, and while the 28-year-old has not heard anything from the Premier League club, he admits he would be interested in a potential move. [LNB]"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. [LNB]"(However) my agent and I haven't heard anything yet."[LNB]Whatever happens next year, Stekelenburg insists he will not be extending his contract at Ajax when it expires. [LNB]"No it won't happen," he added. "If you look at my contract it has only one year left after this season. [LNB]"Ajax wants money for me and I have no problem with that. Financially, it would be the most interesting to sell me this summer. [LNB]"However only I will decide about my future. I want to go to a top league and not to a relegation candidate. [LNB]"Otherwise I prefer to stay for one year longer at Ajax. I don't have to leave (next summer)."[LNB]The shot-stopper has ruled out making a move in the January transfer window, insisting he still has work to do in Amsterdam. [LNB]"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. [LNB]"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. [LNB]"I believe in this squad. We can do a lot of beautiful things."
