We all know too well about Toby Alderweireld’s talent and what he can bring to a team. If Manchester United wants an option that is familiar with the Premier League and will hit the ground running almost immediately, then Alderweireld is the man they should keenly look at.

The Belgian is strong, fast and he’s a vocal leader, just what Manchester United need for the team to be complete. He can certainly come into this United side and surely make it even better.

His other major attributes are: he can play the ball from the back – which is something that most modern-day managers want, he’s quick across the grass and can win key battles both in the air and on the floor.

There’s no doubt that he can improve Manchester United's defence, especially playing with the now impressive Victor Lindelof. That will be a partnership that will be reminiscent of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic. That’s a partnership that United have hoped for since those two left the club.

Being that he is also not keen to renew his contract with Spurs, Manchester United should swoop in.
