Man Utd in shock move for Tottenham star

Manchester United are weighing up a shock move for Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven during the summer transfer window, according to The Athletic.

The Red Devils are determined to bolster their heart of the defence at the end of the campaign, considering the injury woes to Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt this term.

Van de Ven has emerged as a top target, and the club could make a serious approach for his services, particularly if Spurs are relegated at the end of the ongoing campaign.

United are not considering any departures at the current point to facilitate Van de Ven's arrival, but the question is whether the Dutchman would accept reduced game time.

He has been a regular starter for the north London giants but may not be for United. This could play a key part in deciding his future away from Spurs at the end of the campaign.
