Tottenham fans are once again furious with the latest update on Toby Alderweireld, as one writer claims he could be at Manchester United very soon.

According to Sam Pilger, writer for the Times, FourFourTwo and Bleacher Report, Manchester United are “getting closer” to signing Toby Alderweireld, and Tottenham fans are fuming that there’s no mention of a swap for Anthony Martial.

Alderweireld has been stalling over a new contract in North London, and Jose Mourinho is desperate to bridge the gap between the Red Devils and their blue neighbours.

Plenty of recent reports have suggested a swap deal involving Martial joining Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs. The Frenchman grabbed nine goals and five assists in just 18 Premier League starts this season, but has grown disillusioned with his chances at Old Trafford.

The report from Pilger makes no mention of such a swap though, and fans are not happy.

The Daily Mirror claims the Belgian could cost Manchester United £75m, which would certainly be a coup for Spurs, but fans just cant look past the lack of ambition shown by strengthening a rival.

The fans are of course right to be frustrated, as passing up the opportunity to grab the electric Martial while giving a great defender to the Red Devils would be truly shocking business from Spurs.
