According to The Sun, Manchester United will make a decision regarding a move for Tottenham Hotspur central defender Toby Alderweireld next week.

It has been reported by the British tabloid that United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would prefer to keep his central defenders and make them better, but the Red Devils are not ruling out making a move for the Belgium international.

The report has also claimed of interest from Tottenham’s bitter North London rivals Arsenal in the 30-year-old, who is available for £25 million due to a clause in his contract.

Tottenham Hotspur stay

United are a massive club, but given what Tottenham have achieved this season and how much they have progressed as a club in recent years, it is hard to see Alderweireld leave the North London outfit for the Red Devils.

As for Arsenal, it does seem very hard to see the Spurs star switch to the Gunners, not only because of the intensity rivalry between the two North London clubs, but also because it will be a step down for the defender to move to the Emirates Stadium.
