Just a couple of days to the end of tranfer window and united are still rattling the market for a new signing. Toby alderwiereld to Manchester united has always been the big news as the defender has always been on jose mourinho’s radar for virtually all summer transfer, but have failed to strike a deal for most part of it.

However their seems to be glimmer of hope this time as reports claim they have agreed a deal with the player and Tottenham Hotspur are willing to let him go only if they can secure a replacement before the deadline.

Manchester united were earlier put off by Spurs asking price for the defender which was way up to £75m but a compromise has been reached and Man utd have come to terms to the club on a fee. However nothing would be made official until the club could find a replacement for Toby.

Manchester united are hoping they do find a replacement in time to seal the deal but are prepared they may not as they have been exploring other options in Bayern Munich’s Jerome Boateng and Barcelona’s Yeri Minna who has reportedly agreed a £32m move to Everton.

A deal for Jerome Boateng seems more likely though if Tottenham fail to find a replacement for Toby alderweireld in time to complete a deal. The six time bundesliga winner is said to be available for £50m and united may be willing to match the price out of desperation.

Man utd may however have to live with the fact they may be done in the transfer window and may never acquire any new signing before the start of the new season, meaning jose will have to make do with what he has and hope they all rally round to make the best of their situation.
