Tottenham see bid for Manchester United target rejected

Tottenham have seen a bid for Manchester United target and Bordeaux winger Malcom rejected, according to Brazilian publication Universo Online. 

The Brazilian wideman has been in flying form for the Ligue 1 side this season, scoring seven and registering a further four assists for the French outfit. 

Malcom’s performances haven’t gone unnoticed either, with United also looking into the 20-year-old as Jose Mourinho aims to improve his wide options. 

United have been linked with a £33m move for the Bordeaux man, but it’s going to take more than that to convince the French side to sell. 

Spurs have supposedly seen a £35m bid for Malcom rejected by Bordeaux, with it believed that the Ligue 1 outfit are holding out for closer to £50m. 

Bordeaux are keen to retain Malcom’s services in January as they believe they can command a larger fee for the player at the end of the season, while both parties are said to have a gentleman's agreement in place that will allow the youngster to depart next summer.
