Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is seemingly intent on bringing Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Toby Alderweireld to Old Trafford this summer.

There is no question that the Red Devils need to boost their defensive unit ahead of the 2018-19 campaign, and Alderweireld would be a fine signing for the 20-time English champions.

The Belgium international will be out of contract at Spurs next summer, and it does appear likely that he will be allowed to leave in this transfer window.

Tottenham, meanwhile, are believed to be interested in signing United defender Luke Shaw, whose future in Manchester is far from secure.

It would certainly not be a surprise to see Shaw move on, and it would make a lot of sense for the England international to link up with former Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino in the English capital.

The United fans have been reacting to the situation, and many believe that a swap deal for Alderweireld and Shaw could be worked out this summer.
