Football.London’s Tottenham Hotspur correspondent Alasdair Gold has given his verdict on the possibility of the club swooping for Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic in the summer.
The Serbia international’s contract is set to expire in the summer, though the Red Devils do have the option to extend it by another year should they so wish.
Matic, though, could well become available in the next transfer window, having made just eight Premier League appearances this season.
He did play five games in a row under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, against Burnley, Arsenal, Norwich City, Liverpool, and Burnley, though he was left out of the squad for the 0-0 draw with Wolves.
And Gold believes that, if he is available, Spurs will look to bring him into the club.
Matic is a previous Mourinho favourite and has played 159 times for the Portuguese for both Chelsea and United.

Gold, assessing the prospect of a move for the midfielder, said: “Spurs will look at the Serbian this summer if he becomes a free agent but they will not want to get into an auction for his services.”
Matic is 31 and will turn 32 in August.
Meanwhile, Spurs’ Player of the Season should be clear!
