NFL icon Tom Brady has been spotted at Manchester United, but Tottenham Hotspur fans are convinced he is there to support them.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion has plenty of free time on his hands now, having announced his retirement from the NFL back in February following more than two decades playing in the league.

United's owners, the Glazer family, also own the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who Brady spent the final two seasons of his career playing for.

However, Spurs fans believe Brady is instead at Old Trafford to support them, having reportedly formed a friendship with striker Harry Kane in recent years.

Reports ahead of the game stated that Brady will be in attendance at Old Trafford as United and Spurs meet in a huge clash in the race for the top four.

Spurs fans were quick to claim that the 44-year-old was there to watch Antonio Conte's side, despite his relationship with the United owners.

Brady thanked the Glazers for their support during his time with the Buccaneers when he announced his retirement last month.

Instead, they pointed to Brady's friendship with Spurs striker Kane as to why he is present at the match.

Will Tottenham Hotspur finish in the top four this season? Let us know in the comments section below.

One fan account tweeted an image of Kane and Brady together, with the England striker wearing a New England Patriots jersey with Brady's number on it.

The image was accompanied with: “Harry Kane's good friend and NFL legend Tom Brady will be at Old Trafford today to watch the game.”

Despite Spurs fans' claims, Brady insisted that he was at Old Trafford to support United as he tweeted from the stands.

Brady stated he "might fist pump if you score Harry but I'm riding with Man Utd today" as he posted a picture of the players lining up.

Kane will be hoping to fire his side ahead of United in the race for the top four in front of his friend in a match which could go a long way to deciding the race for Champions League football.

A win for Spurs would see them leapfrog United into fifth place and level on points with fourth place Arsenal.

However, defeat would leave Spurs five points off the top four, with United climbing back above Arsenal and into the final Champions League spot.
