The England international fell out of favour at White Hart Lane in October, and is understood to be available for around £12million.

United signed midfielder Shelvey and winger Saivet early this week, and the pair will appear at a Press conference this lunchtime.

Head coach Steve McClaren will also talk to the media ahead of tomorrow afternoon's home game against West Ham United.
