Manchester United have made an approach to sign Tottenham defensive midfielder Eric Dier, according to Football Insider.
The outlet report that the Manchester club have highlighted the England international as a target to fill the midfield void at Old Trafford next season, so have made contact over signing him.
Football Insider also claim that a United source has stated that the club have reignited their interest from two years ago, as they are convinced the North London club will let him go this summer.
Dier has featured 28 times in all competitions for Spurs this season, after falling out of favour for Mauricio Pochettino in the Premier League.
Good move for Spurs?
It’s a hard one, because Dier is brilliant for squad depth.
Although it could be argued that the England international may not be one of the first names on the team sheet for the Argentine coach, he is an excellent player to have in the squad.
Whether he starts or not, he can do a job when he comes on, and the 25-year old would be a good player for any club at the top level.
It would be a huge loss for Spurs if he were to go, especially if he ends up shining at Old Trafford, however he is very replaceable.

Likely to happen?
