I’m also told Mauricio Pochettino is happy for the sale to go through
Michael Bridge on Man Utd's interest in Toby Alderweireld
“Manchester United at the moment are the only club to make a serious interest in Alderweireld.
“Obviously Phil Jones and Chris Smalling are at the back for United and it wasn’t a great performance was it from Jones in the FA Cup final.
“It looks like Manchester United are going to do their business early.
“I’m told Spurs will be looking for quite a big fee for Alderweireld, maybe around £75m.

Paul Mariner predicts Toby Alderweireld to leave Tottenham
Man Utd transfer news: Toby Alderweireld has been out of favour at Tottenham (Image: GETTY)
“They were looking at the likes of Virgil van Dijk leaving Southampton for Liverpool and they’re saying ‘look, Toby Alderweireld is one of the best, maybe even the best, defenders in the Premier League, so we want big money for him’.
“They will look to negotiate this summer and I’m also told Mauricio Pochettino is happy for the sale to go through.
“He loves the Jan Vertonghen and Davinson Sanchez partnership. So Alderweireld, I’ve got to say exclusively to this podcast, I can’t see him saying at Tottenham.
“As it stands Manchester United are the club that want him, they are the frontrunners.”
