Tottenham demanding £55m or Anthony Martial as part of Manchester United deal for Toby Alderweireld
Jose Mourinho is desperate to land a centre-back and wants either Alderweireld or Harry Maguire
JOSE MOURINHO must pay £55million for Toby Alderweireld — or throw in Anthony Martial as part of the deal.
As revealed by SunSport, Mourinho is turning up the heat to get a deal done for a centre-back.
The Manchester United boss is desperate to land the England World Cup star — even though Leicester could demand a record £60million for him.
United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is working on moves for Maguire and Tottenham centre-half Alderweireld.
According to , Spurs are sticking to their £55m valuation, but could lower that figure if United throw in Martial as a sweetener.
United would rather sell Martial to a club abroad but the player is willing to defy them and stay in England.
