Published April 24, 2026 12:53am Updated April 24, 2026 12:53am Micky van de Ven is on Manchester United’s and Liverpool’s radar ahead of the summer window (PA Wire) Tottenham centre-back Micky van de Ven would prefer a move to Liverpool ahead of Manchester United, according to reports. Liverpool are also in the market for a new centre-back and have been keeping tabs on Van de Ven’s situation at Spurs, who are currently two points adrift of safety with five Premier League games remaining.

But according to talkSPORT’s Ben Jacobs, Van de Ven would turn down a move to United if the opportunity to join Liverpool was on the table. ‘If Spurs go down, Van de Ven will almost certainly leave, if Tottenham stay up, it’s a slightly different situation because Cristian Romero is still likely to leave and Van de Ven may be harder to get,’ Jacobs told The United Stand.

Liverpool, like Man United, it’s more an internal conversation but the bad news for Man United on Micky van de Ven is if, and it is an ‘if’, Liverpool enter the race, Van de Ven is only making one decision between Liverpool and Manchester United, and he is picking Liverpool. And I say that with absolute confidence, if both clubs were to enter the race, Van de Ven’s preference would be Liverpool over Manchester United. ‘He would be linking up with Virgil van Dijk, Van Dijk will be going in a season because his contract expires, he knows Van Dijk, he has the opportunity to partner Van Dijk and then move over to the left side and he is also a Liverpool fan in terms of him and his family. ‘If Liverpool enter the race, it would be bad news for all suitors.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.
