Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Eric Dier is desperate to join Manchester United this summer, according to reports.
The 23-year-old has been a subject of transfer interest from United, with reports that Jose Mourinho wants him to replace Michael Carrick who is nearing the end of his career.
Although Spurs have remained reluctant about selling any of their stars this transfer window, it is understood that Manchester United are ready to force their hands with a staggering offer for the midfielder.
Reports in the Manchester Evening News claim that Eric Dier is open to a move to the Old Trafford this summer, having heard of Jose Mourinho’s interest in him.
United are seriously looking at the prospects of buying a central midfielder as Mourinho plans to consolidate the efforts of Paul Pogba and Ander Herrera in the midfield next season.
Chelsea midfielder, Nemanja Matic has also been tipped to make a move to Old Trafford, although the Blues are reportedly furious about United’s transfer move for their priority target, Romelu Lukaku. There are reports that the Serbian trained alone as he awaits a move to the Theatre of Dreams in the coming days.
It is believed that the Red Devils are considering a £60 million bid for the English midfielder with suggestions that Spurs could do business with a fee in that region.
