Manchester United are weighing up a move for Micky Van de Ven as they continue planning defensive reinforcements ahead of next season.
The Spurs centre-back is admired for his pace, recovery defending and comfort on the ball, making him an attractive option for a side looking to add more quality and depth at the back.
According to The Athletic, Van de Ven is one of the names being considered by United as they assess the market for a powerful left-footed defender.
However, any attempt to prise him away from Tottenham is unlikely to be straightforward, with Liverpool also credited with interest in the Dutchman.
United are expected to strengthen in central defence as they prepare for a demanding campaign with added European commitments.
Van de Ven’s profile fits what the club are believed to be seeking, but his long-term contract gives Spurs a strong hand. That could turn this into a difficult and expensive summer chase.
