United to battle Spurs for Brazilian

Tottenham are reported to be battling Manchester United to land Lyon’s left-sided player Michel Bastos.

The 26-year-old can operate at left-back or as a left winger and despite a mixed season with the French outfit is said to be attracting interest from the Premier League pair.

However, Lyon’s valuation of around £22million for the Brazilian could hamper any possible chance of a move.
