Manchester United and Tottenham at loggerheads over £55m deal for Toby Alderweireld

But after tabling a bid of £55m, the handsome sum has been knocked back by Spurs chief Daniel Levy, who wants more for the centre back, 29.
Alderweireld joined Spurs from Southampton in 2015, following Mauricio Pochettino after stints at Ajax and Atletico Madrid.
But he appears to have fallen out with his Argentine boss this season after refusing to sign a new contract, but Pochettino managed to play him in six of Spurs’ last eight matches.
