Manchester United could be set to steal another north London talent this summer, according to reports - with Red Devils chiefs keen on landing Tottenham Hotspur youngster Dexter Oliver to bolster their youth ranks for future success.
Ruben Amorim will be focusing mainly on signing talent for his first-team squad after a shambolic campaign on domestic soil for the Red Devils, but new owners INEOS have strengthened their youth ranks in recent times - and there may be no stopping there, with Oliver in their sights ahead of a potential move to the north-west of England.
Report: Man Utd 'Attempting' to Land Dexter Oliver
The young talent has been magnificent for Tottenham so far
The report by Tottenham account, Lilywhite Rose, on X (formerly Twitter) states that Oliver is set to leave the north London club - with United attempting to sign him.
Oliver has yet to sign the two-year scholarship offer that Tottenham have issued him, and having signed with agency Roc Nation Sports in March, that could prompt his move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with United hot on his trail.
United have made a concerted effort to land more talent from Premier League rivals in recent times - exemplified by Arsenal duo Ayden Heaven and Chido Obi-Martin both featuring in their first-team since their moves from north London. With Harry Amass beginning to feature regularly in the senior squad, Oliver could be next on that list, having been named 'exciting' earlier this season.
The Spurs prodigy has featured in two FA Youth Cup games for Tottenham, alongside seven under-18 Premier League games, registering two assists in the process - and although Oliver looks to be a while off of first-team football, United could look to take advantage of his delay in signing a professional deal to bring him up north and join their Carrington ranks, though rivals Manchester City are also after him.
GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: This will be Manchester United's worst-ever Premier League season, having broken their own record last season in 8th. The highest they can finish this season is 13th.
Oliver is primarily a striker, featuring in a central role, though he can play across the front three and in midfield. He scored a brace against Derby County in the under-17 Premier League Cup semi-final back in February, with Spurs winning 5-0 - and the young side went on to hoist the trophy last month with a win over Charlton Athletic, with Oliver being labelled as a 'top prospect' as a result.
