With just four days until the January transfer window closes, Manchester United and their former coach Jose Mourinho are reportedly rivalling Borussia Dortmund for the signing of a former Liverpool star.
The Red Devils are yet to sign a player this month, while Spurs have only loaned Gedson Fernandes from Benfica.
However, things could get heated before the window slams on Friday, with United, Tottenham Hotspur and BVB said to be interested in Emre Can.
According to Sport 1, the three clubs are keen to end his nightmare at Juventus, where he has fallen our of favour and was cut from the UEFA Champions League squad by Maurizio Sarri.

Can has only started two games this season and desperately wants to depart Juve this window in order to keep his hopes of playing for Germany at the 2020 UEFA European Championship alive.
BVB were initially linked with Can but their reported €18 million (R286 million) offer remained short of Juventus' €30 million (R477 million) asking price.
Now, United and Spurs have entered the chase and could drive the price closer to what Juve want.
However, Can, who joined Juve for free after leaving Liverpool in 2018, is understood to be on a high salary in Italy and will have to cut his wage demands to make a move happen.
Can made 167 appearances for Liverpool but left the Reds after both sides could not agree on a contract extension, with the player said to be insisting on a release clause, which the club never granted.
