Strong, quick and an excellent reader of the game, Toby Alberweireld is among the best centre-backs in the Premier League right now and will significantly improve the Red Devils' defence.

The Belgium international joined Tottenham Hotspur from Atlético Madrid in 2015 and is a commendable figure in Spurs' backline since then. He played all 38 league matches during his debut campaign at the club and helped them maintain the joint-best defensive record in England's top-flight.

The 29-year-old played 87 games for the Red Devils, scoring five goals. He was the part of PFA Premier League Team of the Year 2015-2016 and also won the Tottenham Player of the Season 2015-2016.

The Belgium international's current contract is set to expire in the summer of 2019 and there are reports that he is currently refusing to renew his contract. If they cannot settle on an agreement, it is likely that Tottenham will reluctantly cash in on the player during the January transfer window as opposed to letting him leave on a free transfer next year.
