The 19-year-old has failed to agree on an contract extension with United and his current contract is set to expire at the end of this month.

Fryers has turned down United's offer of a new contract and the defender has long been linked with a move to Newcastle.

But The Mirror now reports that Tottenham look set to win the race for the talented defender.

United will be due a compensation fee for the England Under-19 international should he join Spurs.
