Alderweireld 'not disappointed' about Man Utd transfer collapse

The Belgium defender says he did not push to leave Tottenham despite being heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford during the summer

Toby Alderweireld was not disappointed to stay at Tottenham, with the Belgium centre-back a reported target for Manchester United in the previous transfer window.

Alderweireld featured in 14 Premier League games in 2017-18, with the defender's action restricted by injury and seemingly falling out of favour under manager Mauricio Pochettino.

But despite being in the last year of his Tottenham contract the Belgium international has been reintegrated into the team this term, making three league starts including one in Spurs' eye-catching 3-0 win at Old Trafford.
