Tottenham Hotspur fans react to Toby Alderweireld’s performance against Manchester United.
While Manchester United rue the decision not to sign Toby Alderweireld, Tottenham are clear beneficiaries.
The Belgian defender produced a masterful performance to help Spurs to a win at Old Trafford.
Tottenham produced a composed display against United, inflicting their second successive loss.
While there was an early error from Danny Rose which nearly resulted in a goal for United, Spurs grew into the game and were the better team.
United’s defensive frailties were exposed by goals from Harry Kane and two goals from Lucas Moura.
