Manchester United<\/a> have entered the race to sign Tottenham<\/a> Hotspur centre-back Micky van de Ven next summer, according to Football Insider<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n An ambitious\u00a0transfer<\/a> window looks likely for United in the summer, with other positions likely to get more reinforcements after the attacking unit was prioritised last summer.<\/p>\n At least two new additions in midfield are expected, with several options\u00a0linked, including Atalanta\u2019s Ederson. A report from Football Talk<\/a>, citing\u00a0Nicolo Schira,<\/em> reveals<\/span>\u00a0that the Red Devils have offered the Brazilian a five-year deal and are now \u2018pushing\u2019 to complete the transfer<\/a>.<\/p>\n While an additional midfield addition is needed, defensive reinforcement is also expected in the summer window, as they\u2019ll need as much depth as possible to navigate the lengthy fixture run next season following their UEFA Champions League<\/a> qualification.<\/p>\n Although there have been many improvements at the backline since the turn of the year, the ongoing injury concerns over Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Mart\u00ednez suggest United still need capable, experienced legs at the back, with van de Ven now being eyed.<\/p>\n This is according to Football Insider,<\/em> which claims the Red Devils have entered the race to sign the Spurs vice-captain in the summer.<\/p>\n The report adds that United are poised to reinforce their squad after securing Champions League football, and they have now set their sights on the 25-year-old.<\/p>\n In a boost to the 13-time Premier League<\/a> champions, Football Insider<\/em> claims that the Dutchman\u2019s departure this summer is \u2018inevitable\u2019 should Tottenham be relegated, although they\u2019ll have to battle with Liverpool<\/a>, Barcelona<\/a> and Real Madrid<\/a> in the race to sign the 6ft 3in centre-back.<\/p>\n Van de Ven has been one of the Premier League\u2019s best centre-backs since arriving from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg in the summer of 2023.<\/p>\n Since his arrival, he has made 93 appearances for the North London club and was a key figure in their historic Europa League<\/a> win under Ange Postecoglou last season.<\/p>\n Despite Spurs\u2019 abysmal season, Van de Ven\u2019s qualities and displays, both on and off the ball, have been outstanding and among the best in the league.<\/p>\n With a contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium that runs until 2029, United will need to submit a significant offer to sign him, as Spurs will likely demand a fee above his \u00a356m Transfermarkt<\/a> valuation.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
