Alan Hutton has rejected an £8million move to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, as rumours of a counter-bid from Old Trafford emerge.
The Londoners have had a bid accepted by Rangers for the Scottish international fullback, who has been superb for both club and country throughout the first half of the season.
However, the 23-year-old has rejected the move to London, as he waits to hear if interest from Manchester United, who are on the lookout for a long-term replacement for Gary Neville, bears fruit.
Sir Alex Ferguson revealed he was impressed with Hutton during Scotland's failed attempt to qualify for Euro 2008, and he must now decide whether to follow up his interest with a firm bid.
