Manchester United are interested in signing Ivan Perisic from Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window, reports Football transfers. The report claims that United left-back Luke Shaw is currently injured and coach Erik ten Hag is trying to cover up the situation.
United have contacted Perisic’s agent about a loan deal. A spokesman for the Croatian left-back refused the offer and advised the Red Devils not to make contact with Tottenham. Perisic, who can also play at full-back, joined Spurs in the summer of 2022 on a free transfer after leaving Inter Milan and has a contract with the North London club until the end of the season.
Both United and Tottenham are aiming to finish in the top four in the Premier League table this season. The Red Devils are expected to continue playing from last season and also compete for the league title.
