Manchester United are moving quickly to sign 18-year-old Tottenham Hotspur winger Tynan Thompson, with a medical already planned. The Red Devils only became aware of the opportunity last week but are determined to beat competition from German side Hamburg. Thompson, who primarily plays on the left wing, had an impressive season for Tottenham's Under-18 side, scoring 13 goals and providing 6 assists in 26 appearances. The move is part of Manchester United's strategy under INEOS to strengthen both the senior squad and academy for long-term success. It also represents a small victory over Tottenham after United missed out on signing Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali earlier in the transfer window.
