Man Utd advised to target Micky van de Ven as Nicky Butt reveals if he thinks Red Devils can secure Luis Enrique as new manager

Nicky Butt believes Manchester United should target Micky van de Ven as a defensive upgrade on Lisandro Martinez. The former midfielder also doubts whether Luis Enrique would leave Paris Saint-Germain to take charge at Old Trafford.

Butt has suggested that Man Utd should consider signing Van de Ven from Spurs as they look to strengthen a defence that has, at times, struggled in 2025-26. The former United midfielder believes the Dutch centre-back offers similar technical qualities to Martinez but with added physical attributes. He also floated the possibility that elite clubs could move quickly for top players if circumstances forced Tottenham into selling key assets.
