All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur goes behind-the-scenes
Manchester United have reportedly given up on their pursuit of Real Madrid defender Sergio Reguilon because they believe the left-back is set to link up with Jose Mourinho at Tottenham.
Real are open to letting Reguilon leave this summer as he is third in the Bernabeu pecking order behind Ferland Mendy and Marcelo.
The 23-year-old has attracted a lot of interest after helping Sevilla win the Europa League while on loan last term.
Sevilla have ruled themselves out of making an approach to keep Reguilon on a permanent basis because there are "very strong rivals with whom we are not in a position to fight financially," according to director of football Monchi.
Those clubs are thought to be Premier League duo United and Spurs.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has concerns over Luke Shaw and Brandom Williams' fitness and was in the market for a new full-back.

"I think it was one of the things that was very clear in the Amazon Documentary, it's that Danny is the kind of guy that wants to play all the time," added Mourinho.
"Some players are more adapted to belonging to a squad with lots of quality here it is not so easy to play and the competition is higher, other players are only comfortable if they are in a team where they play all of the time.
"It was very difficult for him to stay here with us when it was clear that for me Ben Davies is such a solid left-back.
"So it will be very difficult for Danny to stay with us for this season."
