Tottenham value their defender at £40 million. This hefty price tag previously made Inter pull out of negotiations, as the Italian club was unable to meet the financial demands of the Londoners.

Spence is capable of covering both full-back positions, making him a versatile reinforcement for Carrick’s Manchester United side.

It’s worth noting that Transfermarkt also values the Tottenham defender at €40 million.
