Tottenham should snap up these 2 Man United stars this summer

Harry Kane netted four as Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham thumped last year’s Premier League champions Leicester 6-1 on Thursday night.

Spurs had already consolidated second place in the division but didn’t play like a team on their holidays, with striker Kane bagging four to take him clear at the top of the goal-scoring charts, and indeed make him hot favourite to land the Golden Boot for a second successive season.

A brace from Son Heung-min helped cap a comprehensive victory for Pochettino’s men, who will go into their last match away at Hull on Sunday looking for a similar performance to end a fine season on a high.

But the question now for Tottenham is whether they can go that one step further next term and perhaps win a trophy or sustain a title challenge, and one way they may do that is by targeting players from their nearest rivals in the summer transfer window.

And one club they could look at is Manchester United, so here are TWO United stars Spurs must try and land this summer…

Luke Shaw

With Danny Rose out for a sustained period of time, and his future at the club far from certain, Pochettino may look to reunite with United defender Luke Shaw this summer.

The 21-year-old has had a torrid time since making a big money move to Old Trafford back in 2014, making just 47 appearances for the Red Devils, and enduring a tough time out with injury in the 2015/16 campaign.

This term has seen him come under intense scrutiny from manager Jose Mourinho, and it just doesn’t look like he has a long-term future in the North West.

And that’s why Pochettino, who worked with Shaw and ultimately made him the player that looked set for a long England career at Southampton, could make a move to try and bring the best out of him at Tottenham.

Anthony Martial

Forward Anthony Martial is another who has come in for criticism from Mourinho this term, and doesn’t really look like the player that announced himself in English football last season with 17 goals in 49 games.

The France international was brilliant for United under Louis van Gaal but has struggled under Mourinho, and you wonder whether he, like Shaw, has a long-term future under the Portuguese at Old Trafford.

And if the answer is no, Pochettino should consider a move for the 21-year-old this summer given his own track-record of giving youngsters a chance, and the need for Spurs to baulk out their squad ahead of next season.

Besides the first team, the main criticism labelled at Spurs is their lack of depth, yet bringing in someone like Martial would not only strengthen the squad, but also make the attacking positions competitive ahead of a crucial season for the North London side.
