Man Utd transfer news: Jose Mourinho has three Toby Alderweireld alternatives
MANCHESTER UNITED boss Jose Mourinho reportedly has three defenders on his wishlist if Tottenham continue to thwart their efforts to land Toby Alderweireld.
And, as a result, Tottenham refused to sell them Luka Modric and Gareth Bale in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
The MEN say United have Milan Skriniar, Alessio Romagnoli, and Caglar Soyuncu on their radar.
Skriniar and Romagnoli have both forged good reputations for themselves in Serie A with Inter and AC Milan.
And Soyuncu was linked with Arsenal before, ultimately, the Gunners went for Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
Alderweireld, meanwhile, hit out at Tottenham yesterday for dropping him last season.

“I wanted to show that I am still the same Toby as in November.
"I really do not know anything yet. In my head I just go to Tottenham. We'll see."
