Victor Wanyama on Man United’s radar – report

Jose Mourinho has asked Manchester United to provide him with two new midfielders this summer and the club are reportedly weighing up a move for Victor Wanyama.

The Tottenham midfielder is a key component of Mauricio Pochettino’s side and Wanyama’s consistency has not gone unnoticed.

A knee injury last August has kept Wanyama sidelined for most of the season, but the 26-year-old returned in January and recently completed his first 90 minutes in the Premier League for six months.

Despite Wanyama’s past form, the Kenya international has struggled to reclaim his starting place and United believe there may be an opportunity to swoop, according to the Daily Mail.

Liverpool too are monitoring Wanyama’s situation and there is an expectation the midfielder could be persuaded to leave Tottenham this summer.

Wanyama has a contract at Tottenham that ties him to the club until 2021, and Spurs are not believed to be interested in selling.

United want a partner for Nemanja Matic in midfielder and someone capable of pushing Paul Pogba, Juan Mata and others for a starting place.

Pogba’s stock at United has taken a hit in recent weeks with Mourinho dropping the Frenchman for several crucial games including the Champions League first leg against Sevilla.

Wanyama has played in the Premier League since 2013, making over 130 appearances and also has experience in Europe.
