Mourinho doesn't need Alderweireld at United says expert
That’s according to Red Devils fan podcast Red Mancunian.
Jose Mourinho has been linked with the Belgium international as he looks to bolster his defensive options.
However, it’s understood negotiations between United and Tottenham have stalled until after the World Cup in Russia.
But in Red Mancunian's latest episode, show regular Justin Mottershead believes the club don’t need to sign the centre-half.

“Isn’t he like third-choice centre-back for them?” he said on yesterday’s episode.
“Isn’t he like 30? [he’s actually 29].
“I, personally, don’t think we need him. I think full-backs are more important.
“If Eric Bailly is fit, I think a partnership between Bailly and [Chris] Smalling is good enough.
“But there’s something going on.
“When he [Bailly] is fit, all of a sudden he doesn’t play because Mourinho is giving players who are going to the World Cup a chance.”
