Matthijs de Ligt drops major hint about his future, Red Devils submit €120m bid for Joao Felix and more Manchester United Transfer News: June 2, 2019

#4 United will make a decision on Alderweireld next week

Manchester United are still interested in Alderweireld

Toby Alderweireld had a night to forget on Saturday, as Tottenham were convincingly defeated by Liverpool. The Belgian was a part of the team that let in 2 goals and lost the game 2-0, however, Alderweireld held out his own in the game. It is now time for Pochettino to go back to the drawing board and prepare for next season, however, he might have to plan without his Belgian defender.

The Sun reports that United will take the final decision on the transfer next week. We had earlier revealed in this segment that the United board was willing to ignore Solskjaer's decision and go for the defender who represents a great value for money in the transfer market.

United are currently in the market for new centre-backs after letting in a record number of goals in the Premier League last season. Toby Alderweireld, who was already a Mourinho target last season, has a proven track record in the league and has the ability to solve United's defensive problems, if the Red Devils manage to get his signature.
