Manchester United target Toby Alderweireld says summer move is down to Tottenham
Spurs will decide the future of their Belgium international as United prepare to make him their most expensive defender
MANCHESTER UNITED target Toby Alderweireld has revealed his future is in Tottenham's hands, according to reports.
The Belgian defender is wanted by the Red Devils, but Spurs have set his price tag at £70 million.
With a clause in the 29-year-old's contract that would significantly reduce that fee in 12 months' time, Tottenham are working to pen him to a new deal that would get rid of the cheap sale option, as reported by .
Alderweireld was close to moving to Manchester United for £50m in May, a fee that would have broken the club's transfer record for a defender.
Yet, they could pick up the centre-back for just £25m next summer, with Spurs in two minds over his future.

Alderweireld said: "I have another two years' contract. Tottenham decides about my future.
"of course I have my own idea. But that is not the case now."
Rumours of a potential exit for the defender come after he was dropped from the Spurs squad towards the end of the season, with manager Mauricio Pochettino preferring Davinson Sanchez.
It did not affect his performances for Belgium, as he played the full 90 minutes in all-but one game.
The Red Devils lost out in the semi-finals, before beating England to claim bronze in the third-place play-off.
