Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld is reportedly prepared to run down his contract with the club, should the Belgian fail to agree a switch to Manchester United.
The 29-year-old, who is in the final year of his contract in North London, has been linked with a move up north for a number of weeks after an inconsistent season under Mauricio Pochettino.
According to The Mirror, Alderweireld will hold out for a move to the Red Devils by snubbing a potential switch elsewhere.
The newspaper adds that Tottenham could be forced to sell the defender in the current window because a £25m release clause will be activated upon the expiry of his deal at the end of next season.
Alderweireld, who battled with injury last season, started only 13 Premier League games for Spurs.
