Indeed Toby is miles the better defender than Umtiti imo
A really good defender allows them to not play as defensively as they do now, so that in turns allows them to play more offensive. Their defense outside of Bailly and De Gea is just not all that great. Adding Toby allows them to free up Pogba some more, allow wingers to not track back quite as much, etc. Now that is an assumption but that was my general understanding of why ManU played so defensively currently.I would sell Toby to United, if we get Martial in return. Martial solves our long term 2nd striker problem.
As for as United getting Toby, it would be a big blow. But what good is another defender for a already defensive Mourinho side ?
I don't know if it works like that in football, but do we really trust United to commit to their part of such a deal? With Mourinho at the helm, who laughed at us for doing a medical before signing the contract of Willian? Don't trust them at all.I would sell Toby to United, if we get Martial in return.

They've got the 2nd best defence in the league...it really doesn't strengthen them that much.
Not so sure about that. Toby didn't have much protection at the weekend and looked all over the shop. I think he would ensure that they aren't so error prone. Jones and Smalling always have a dumb moment, whereas Toby gives them more consistency.A really good defender allows them to not play as defensively as they do now, so that in turns allows them to play more offensive.

Just looks like a guy who hasn't played very much recently. Defense is all about rhythm, timing, seeing the game, etc. all of which takes game time to perfect.The big issue is how much football does Toby have left in him, he looks broken at the moment.
nothing levy can do if alderweireld rejects any overseas offerTired of the toby-saga.
I will be fuming if he goes to any top PL team. That just cant happen. If we are serious about being a top club we cant be selling our best players to rivals......you hear me Levy!!!!!
