Former Arsenal star John Hartson confirms Manchester United’s transfer priority is Kieran Tierney
Former Celtic and Arsenal striker John Hartson has said Kieran Tierney has emerged as Jose Mourinho's top transfer transfer.
The Manchester United manager has spent over £ 150million this summer in the shape of Nemanja Matic, Romelu Lukaku and Victor Lindelof.
Mourinho spoke openly to his delight in United's transfer dealings but remains expected to make a fourth sign.
United are joining Inter's Ivan Perisic at the start of the season but he has failed to meet the Serie A club's £ 48million price, while also retaining the interest in back-back Tottenham Danny Rose.
MAN UTD CHANGES IN
Victor Lindelof (£ 30.75m, from Benfica), Romelu Lukaku (£ 75m, from Everton), Nemanja Matic (£ 40m, from Chelsea)
MAN UTD CHANGE
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (released), Josh Harrop (free, with Preston), Wayne Rooney (free, with Everton), Timothy Fosu-Mensah (loan, to the Palace), Adnan Januzaj (£ 9.8m, Real Sociedad) Borthwick- Jackson (loan, Leeds)
The England left-back is set for talks with Spurs this week following his interview with the explosion earlier this month, but Hartson said that Tierney has emerged as a more viable Alternative.
'I hear him target as Manchester United,' he told BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.
'But why in the world will Brendan Rodgers sell Tierney today?
'If I'm Brendan Rodgers, I say to [Jose] Mourinho,' He'll have another season here, keep your £ 25-30m for now, he has Champions League football, he loves playing for Celtic '.
