Both Tottenham and Man United have had their struggles this season, with both sides changing manager during the campaign. Spurs are two points behind fourth placed Arsenal and United are now six points behind Mikel Arteta's side and have played an extra game in the race for a top-four place.
There is still a battle to secure Champions League football next season, with only a handful of games left to play. Once the season comes to an end, the transfer window will open and it is expected to be a busy one for both Tottenham and the Manchester side.
The prospect of Champions League football would provide a financial benefit and help attract top players to their clubs. Either way, both sides need incomings and outgoings to help improve their current squad.
