da poker： Manchester United are keeping a close eye on Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Victor Wanyama ahead of the summer transfer window, according to the Daily Mail.
What’s the word?
da leao： Wanyama has been at the North London club since 2016 when he signed from Southampton.
The Kenyan international has impressed with his strength in the middle of the park, but he has only managed to start two Premier League games this season, partly due to injuries.
According to the Daily Mail, United are considering their midfield options with Michael Carrick due to retire.
Wanyama is believed to be on their list, while Liverpool have also been touted as potential suitors.
Should Tottenham sell?
The 26-year-old has been a powerhouse in the team’s midfield, but since recovering from injury, the ex-Celtic player has not been selected regularly by manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Eric Dier has taken the defensive midfield role, while Mousa Dembele is the other man in midfield.
Despite getting less minutes, Wanyama still has a role to play in the team, especially when Dier is required to slot back into the defence.
Whether the Kenyan would be willing to eventually play a bit-part role remains to be seen.
One thing is for sure, though, chairman Daniel Levy will not allow the midfielder to go for a cheap price.
