United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking Alderweireld with a move to Old Trafford.

Below are some of the best comments:

De Ligt Alderweireld would be the perfect signings at CB this summer. Youth and Prem experience. Imagine Koulibaly alone would come close to those two fees combined #MUFC

3 players we should start our window off with: Alderweireld – no brainer Bruno Fernandes – good no 8, competition for P.P and possibly rabiot – he does have a bad attitude but on a free, I would consider it

Honestly speaking, getting Toby Alderweireld and a younger CB makes much more sense. As good as Kalidou Koulibaly is, spending £100m on him will ensure lesser funds for targets in other areas. We need at least 4-5 signings this summer and we cant spend £100m on one player #MUFC

If it’s true Ole wants a CB and a CAM, Alderweireld + Eriksen are surely the top targets? £26m buy-out for Toby and a year left on Eriksen’s deal, make a good offer like with RVP. #Value #MUFC

Alderweireld represents good value this summer, if the £26m clause is to be believed. We should be looking towards a title challenge and he is title challenging calibre.

It’s not been long enough to work out who Ole will allow to leave first. Rojo & Bailly? #MUFC #MUFC_FAMILY

Honestly dont see us signing Koulibaly or any other mega money centre half if we sign Alderweireld. Unless the club/Solskjaer agree with Gary Neville that we need 2 new starting centre backs, but i doubt that. Lindelof has done well enough this ssn to suggest that wont happen.

Wan Bissaka
Alderweireld
Ndombele/Ndidi

this would be nice start to the summer window, after that we’d just have to finesse some RW and fight for PL title could be close #mufc

Good signing for Manchester United?

Alderweireld is one of the best central defenders in the Premier League, and there is no doubt that the 30-year-old will be a very good signing for Tottenham.

True, the former Ajax and Atletico Madrid defender is 30 now, but he is going strong and ever and will certainly enhance the quality of the United backline.

Alderweireld has made 26 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Tottenham so far this season, according to WhoScored.
