Those two rumours have been doing the rounds for weeks, but the news Lennon is a possible target could spark the interest.
The Chronicle: "At the moment there is no indication that White Hart Lane boss Juande Ramos is ready to sell the 21-year-old winger.
"There is a list of players Spurs are ready to let go - but Lennon is not thought to be on it.
"But he is on Kevin Keegan's shopping list, and I am told that United's recruitment duo of Dennis Wise and Tony Jimenez are also keen on the idea.
"Top London agent Leon Angel represents both Lennon and United central defender Steven Taylor.
"Lennon was born and bred in Leeds, and a couple of years ago he was homesick and found life difficult in north London."
