Manchester United are ready to make a new attempt to sign Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Eric Dier.
Manager Jose Mourinho has identified the 23-year-old as one who could strengthen his midfield department.
Spurs don't want to sell the Englishman who is expected to play a major role in Mauricio Pochettino's squad next season.
He has a market transfer value of £50million that Manchester United are ready to meet.
Chelsea's Nemanja Matic and Monaco Fabinho are two other options the Portuguese is evaluating.
United have already made a bid for Dier this summer but it was rejected by the North Londoners.
But, executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy continued to discuss the transfer and a second bid could be made as early as next week.
