Manchester United have been given the opportunity to sign Djed Spence from Tottenham Hotspur, according to a journalist.

Man Utd are looking for a left-back as they try to identify a long-term successor to Luke Shaw.

Newcastle United star Lewis Hall is understood to be Man Utd’s leading target for the left-back position.

Hall himself is reportedly willing to join Man Utd, but Newcastle do not want to part with the England international.

It has now emerged that Spence has been offered to Man Utd.

According to journalist Ben Jacobs on The United Stand, the Tottenham Hotspur and England international full-back has been offered to Man Utd.

Spence can operate at right-back as well as left-back and was one of England’s standout performers at the 2026 World Cup.

The transfer journalist added that Spence, 25, has also been offered to Liverpool.

Jacobs, however, said it is not yet clear whether Man Utd have indicated that they want to sign Spence, while also pointing out that Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi wants to keep him.

Jacobs said on The United Stand: “Obviously, the other option is more of a two-sided full-back.

“You may remember, in kind of March, April, we were speaking of how if they had a kind of left-winger that could drop into left wing-back, they might sign a right-sided full-back that can switch sides.

“And Djed Spence is a name on the player’s side that has been offered around.

“He has been offered to Liverpool, he has been offered to Manchester United.

“I am not aware yet whether the club’s interested in that deal, but Spence wants to go somewhere and play week in week out, whether it’s on the right and whether it’s on the left, so his future might be broadly one to watch again.

“I don’t think Man Utd at this point have said we want Djed Spence, we are going to move for Djed Spence, we are going to negotiate for Djed Spence, but the Spence side are offering him around to Premier League clubs because with Pedro Porro on one side and Destiny Udogie on the other and after a very positive World Cup, Spence can’t guarantee he is going to play every week at Tottenham Hotspur, and that’s why he is assessing his options even though Roberto De Zerbi would love to keep him as a squad player.”

While Man Utd co-owners INEOS have not yet decided whether they want to sign Spence, Liverpool do have an interest in the England international.

According to The Sun journalist Tom Barclay, Tottenham are prepared to sell Spence for £35million.

Barclay wrote at 10:48am on August 6: “Understand Liverpool do have some interest in Djed Spence.

“Told there are other clubs whose interest currently seems stronger, but let’s see how it develops.

“Spence’s price tag believed to be around £35m, seems increasingly likely he’ll leave #thfc this summer”
