Alan Brazil has opined that a rumoured Tottenham target would undoubtedly strengthen Thomas Frank’s midfield, but he has urged his club to stop the player from making a switch to North London.We know that Spurs are now turning their attention to signing a number six, with reports indicating that the Lilywhites are expected to add a defensive midfielder after offloading Yves Bissouma.It has been reported by a number of sources over the last few days that Tottenham are considering a move for Kobbie Mainoo, whose future at Man United is thought to be in doubt.It has been alleged that Mainoo has emerged as a realistic target for Spurs as the contract talks between the 20-year-old and the Red Devils have now hit a stalemate.Photo by Boris Streubel – UEFA/UEFA via Getty ImagesAlan Brazil urges Manchester United to keep Kobbie Mainoo away from TottenhamAlan Brazil is in no doubt that the England international’s signing would improve Tottenham Hotspur, insisting that the Lilywhites’ midfield is in desperate need of reinforcements.However, he suggested that Rubem Amorim’s men would be making a mistake by letting such a talented, young player leave.When asked about the speculation linking Kobbie Mainoo with a move to Tottenham, the pundit told talkSPORT: “He’s only young, isn’t he, and if I were United I’d want to keep him, but it’s up to the manager. Amorim, he’s seen enough of him now to know if he’s his type of player, [or] not in his plans. Is he his type of player?“I’ve always said that Tottenham’s midfield is not good enough; they need more pace in there, so the jury is out here. I’d like to see him stay at United, I’d like to see him get his career back on track, like playing every week and starting. But he could be alright for Spurs — that’s a good one that is. I’m not sure, I’m going to sit on the fence on this.”What is the issue between Man United and Mainoo?A couple of days ago, Dean Saunders revealed that he knows the Man United star’s agent and explained why a new contract has not been signed by the youngster.Saunders claimed that Man United are hesitating to put Mainoo in the same pay bracket as their other midfield stars, thus potentially opening the door for Spurs and others to poach the 20-year-old.Meanwhile, other sources have revealed that Mainoo wants regular game time next season, which he might not get under Rubem Amorim at Old Trafford.READ MORE: Tottenham set to rip up transfer policy after huge Joao Palhinha developmentThe post Alan Brazil thinks Manchester United would regret Tottenham decision this summer appeared first on Spurs Web.
