Man Utd ‘in talks with Tottenham’ over signing English gem and want deal ‘done quickly’ | OneFootball

Manchester United are in talks with Tottenham Hotspur over bringing Tynan Thompson to Old Trafford in the summer transfer window, according to three sources.

Man Utd have made three major signings for the first team so far this summer.

Youri Tielemans has moved to Man Utd from Aston Villa for £35million, Andrey Santos has switched from Chelsea for £50m, and Karl Darlow has joined Michael Carrick’s side on a free transfer after leaving Leeds United.

Man Utd are not done yet, with the Red Devils’ co-owners, INEOS, now determined to sign another midfielder.

The Premier League giants, who will play in the Champions League next season under manager Carrick, are looking to enhance the quality of their youth team as well.

According to The Secret Scout and journalist Sam Tabuteau, Man Utd are now actively trying to sign winger Tynan Thompson from Premier League rivals Tottenham in the summer transfer window.

Thompson is just 18 years of age and plays as a left-winger.

The English teenager signed a professional contract with Tottenham in May 2025, but he has yet to make his senior debut for the north London club.

Thompson, though, is very highly rated and was named twice on the substitutes’ bench in the Champions League for Spurs last season.
