Double Man United swoop, Everton midfielder talks

Tottenham Hotspur is said to be ready to turn their attentions towards Manchester United winger Ashley Young after being scared off by the hefty £25m price tag Crystal Palace placed on Yannick Bolasie.

Palace are unwilling to part with their best players this summer, having secured a brilliant deal with Paris Saint-Germain for Yohan Cabaye, who will be a significant upgrade on their midfield options.

Tottenham are looking to offload both Aaron Lennon and Andros Townsend, but will reportedly wait until the end of the window in case the club does not reach a deal for a replacement winger.

The 30-year-old England worldwide showed a real upturn in form in 2014/15, becoming a regular in Louis van Gaal’s starting eleven, but the arrival of Memphis Depay could restrict his involvement in Man United’s first-team plans.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez insists the Republic of Ireland worldwide will not leave the club, but the Mirror claim Tottenham are confident they will sign McCarthy.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has prioritized the signing of a wideman before the start of the season and Congolese global Bolasie is top of his list.
