A growing number of Manchester United fans now seem extremely confident that the Toby Alderweireld transfer is now a matter of when, not if.
This comes following the latest update on the Tottenham defender from Belgian outlet HLN, who, as noted by some, were also the first to break the news of Marouane Fellaini signing a new contract at Old Trafford earlier this summer.

The source now claims Alderweireld is desperate to get his move to United before Thursday’s deadline and that Spurs are holding out for €65million for him.
HLN claim the 29-year-old has absolutely made up his mind about the move, and it follows other reports that the deal is very much on the cards.

Loading ...The Daily Mirror yesterday reported that the Alderweireld transfer was likely just 48 hours away, so it may not be too long for United fans to wait now.
HLN are certainly a big source in Belgium, so it’s little wonder these Red Devils supporters are now getting pretty excited about what looks an imminent signing to majorly strengthen their squad…
HLN in Belgium are saying that United and Spurs are hopeful of finding an agreement for Toby this week with the London club wanting €65m (£58m) for him. They’re very reliable. They were the first to say anything on Fellaini contract renewal with United. The deal will happen.

HLN are very reliable, only a matter of time until Toby Alderweireld is a United player imo. ??

Can't say I would be too arsed if Everton land Yerry Mina because Toby Alderweireld is the one #MUFC should be signing. Fingers crossed. ??

HLN claims Toby wants to leave, doesn't want Spurs to take the option of extending his contract. If I am not wrong, this is the first time in the last week or so, we are having a report from Belgium regarding Toby Alderweireld 's situation at Tottenham/United links.

Alderweireld (pound-for-pound) over the last few years has been the superior Premier League centre back.
Three at the back alongside Bailly and Lindelöf then United will be laughing.
Great business. #mufc
