Manchester United emerge as favourites to clinch transfer of Premier League star after manager decision

Manchester United are the clear favourites to seal the transfer of Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld after he was dropped to the bench by Mauricio Pochettino against Arsenal this weekend.

Bookies Ladbrokes have been in touch to give us the latest transfer news on Alderweireld, stating the Belgium international looks set for a move away from north London.

The Manchester Evening News were among the various sources to strongly link Alderweireld with United during the summer, with the team in clear need of improvements in defence.

The Red Devils’ hugely unconvincing start to the season has only cemented that view, with Ladbrokes now making them the 6/4 favourites to win this transfer battle.

The 29-year-old could also be of interest to Chelsea and Barcelona, it is suggested, with those two clubs close behind United in the running, according to Ladbrokes.
