Manchester United transfer news: Club hierarchy blocked Jose Mourinho’s move for Toby Alderweireld over tactical fear
The Manchester United hierarchy stopped Jose Mourinho signing Toby Alderweireld because of a major tactical fear, according to reports.Sky Sports journalist Pete Hall claims the move didnt happen because of concerns over how the Belgian defender would fit into Uniteds system.3

The Manchester United board blocked Jose Mourinho’s move for Toby Alderweireld

The former United boss spoke openly for months about wanting to sign a centre-half, but executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and co didnt feel the Spurs ace could play in a two.Speaking on the Transfer Talk podcast, he said: “Let’s remember, the United board were not that keen on Alderweireld in the first place.“Jose Mourinho wanted him, he was the one who said we want to bring Alderweireld in.“However, the board vetoed that as there were doubts if he could play in a two.3

Alderweireld is now available to sign for 25m

“If it’s the board who are going to sign players, and it would be because Ole Gunnar Solskjer is unsure if he will sign longer than the summer, we know they’re not that keen on Alderweireld.Tottenham confirmed on Friday that had activated an automatic one-year extension in Alderweireld’s contract, which ties him down until the end of the 2019/20 season.However, as a result of that agreement the 29-year-old is now available to sign for 25m, although according to Hall that is unlikely to happen this month.3

Ed Woodward was not convinced the Belgian would fit into United’s system

He explained: “I’d be surprised if he comes at the moment.In the summer if a new manager comes in and wants him, 25million is a snip for a very, very good defender.”Alderweireld remains an integral part of Mauricio Pochettinos side, and he has made 26 appearances already this season.
