Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy potentially sacking Ange Postecoglou could benefit Manchester United this winter transfer window.

Spurs are two places below United in the Premier League table, in 15th, and only eight points above the relegation zone. They lost 3-2 away to Everton on Sunday, while Brighton & Hove Albion beat Ruben Amorim's side at Old Trafford.

Tottenham, however, have not won a league match since mid-December and have lost all three of their outings this year. Injuries have hardly helped Postecoglou, with a dozen players missing their game at Goodison Park, but pressure is increasingly mounting on the coach.

United does not play Spurs until the middle of next month, but Levy's potential decision to part ways soon could aid the Reds in any attempts to sign Kolo Randal Muani on loan from Paris Saint-Germain. Tottenham are reputedly interested in the France international, and with their first-choice striker Dominic Solanke sidelined right now, they could offer the forward a clear route into the starting line-up.

However, a change of coach could complicate any negotiations with the player, who would assumedly be less willing to join a team without a coach, especially with considerable interest from other clubs. MEN Sport reported United had not ruled out the possibility of loaning Randal Kolo Muani earlier this month.

They are open to signing a striker and previously considered Kolo Muani some 18 months ago, but eventually chose Rasmus Hojlund instead. Juventus are the frontrunners but are facing a delay in completing the deal, which could offer United a lifeline.

The deal is not official because PSG cannot loan another player to a foreign club after reaching the FIFA limit. Therefore, they must recall one of those currently away from the team overseas before Kolo Muani can leave.
