Manchester United look set to lose out to Tottenham Hotspur in the race to sign Ajax star Jan Vertonghen.
The Belgian has dropped a huge hint that he is set to snub Manchester United and Arsenal in favour of a move Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
He said: "I owe much to Ajax; I have always given my whole heart and soul for them. My appreciation for the club and the fans is great.
"It would be terrible if my departure would be a long and distorted situation as Ajax would keep asking for a great price 'till the bone'.
"Of course I want Ajax to become financially better, but the amount Tottenham are willing to pay, maybe with a little bit extra, is very reasonable.
"In a year from now I could leave the club for free. I hope Ajax are aware of it as the situation of Maarten Stekelenburg's transfer was very harsh. He only arrived at the end of pre-season at AS Roma. I want to flow in fluently, directly with the other Spurs players.
"Tottenham is a fantastic traditional club who play football in a way I like.
"Ajax was the perfect club for me, but Spurs will be very close in nearing that already. They buy young, eager and offensive-minded players."
