Manchester United interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur superstar

According to sources, Manchester United has set its sights on Son Heung-min, the captain of Tottenham Hotspur. Today, Manchester United travels to North London to play Arsenal. The Red Devils are regarded as the second favorite for the highly anticipated match at the Emirates, despite a strong start under Ruben Amorim.

Whatever happens today, the United board undoubtedly will need to add a number of elite players to enable Amorim to regularly compete with players like Mikel Arteta. According to a source, the Manchester giants are considering recruiting a top player from a different north London team.

When Ange Postecoglou joined Tottenham Hotspur in 2023, the team looked very different. Given that the Lilywhites are now in seventh spot in the English Premier League, questions will be raised over Tottenham's future under the Australian. However, Manchester United is currently pursuing an individual whose contract is about to expire this summer.

Given his current contract status, GiveMeSport claims that Manchester United is considering Heung-min Son to be a potential target. The South Korean skipper would be a well-known addition, similar to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and others who have played at Old Trafford over the years.

Why Tottenham Hotspur are not offering a new deal to Son Heung-min?

Tottenham Hotspur is scheduled to activate Son's one-year extension, but no new contract is anticipated to be offered. Spurs' reluctance to grant the club legend a new contract may come as no surprise given that he has only scored three goals throughout the league.

Son has faced the Red Devils 18 times, although he did not participate in Tottenham's 3-0 triumph against Man United previously in the season. With Ruben Amorim in the dugout after Erik ten Hag was fired, a new era is underway at Old Trafford. However, with players like Amad Diallo truly impressing Ruben Amorim, it is questionable if Son would even have a place in the starting lineup at this point.
