Manchester United are reportedly leading the race to sign Micky van de Ven from Tottenham Hotspur, according to recent rumours circulating in the football transfer market.
Reports suggest that the Red Devils are closely monitoring the Dutch centre-back ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window. Van de Ven has emerged as one of the standout defenders in the Premier League since joining Tottenham, thanks to his exceptional pace, defensive awareness, and ability to play out from the back.
The defender has quickly become an integral part of Tottenham’s defensive setup. His impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, with several top European clubs believed to be keeping tabs on him. However, Manchester United are reportedly at the front of the queue should the defender become available.
According to the circulating rumours, Tottenham could demand a fee in the region of £125 million if they were to consider letting Van de Ven leave. Such a price tag would make him one of the most expensive defenders in football history. Spurs are under no immediate pressure to sell, especially given the player’s importance to their long-term plans.
