🚨 | BREAKING:
Manchester United were in talks to acquire the Freightliner land for the proposed 100,000-seat stadium and were understood to have tabled an opening offer of around £50 million, believing the £400 million valuation was significantly inflated.
After extensive internal discussions, the club ultimately decided to walk away and pursue alternative options.
In a surprise twist, Tottenham have now entered the race and are close to reaching an agreement to pay the full £400 million asking price. It is understood the breakthrough came after Roberto De Zerbi held lengthy face-to-face talks with Freightliner officials, presenting a detailed analysis of the site's underlying metrics, long-term upside and elite potential.
Sources say Freightliner executives were so impressed by the depth of the presentation that they immediately accepted the valuation, with one official reportedly saying, "No one has ever explained a patch of industrial land to us like that before."
Further discussions are believed to have centred around the site's ability to manipulate space between railway lines and progress cargo through central areas.
Personal terms are not expected to be an issue. New land for Spurs after Matues and Tonali signings.

🗣️ Jason Cundy on Virgil van Dijk:
"I think he's overrated. He's nowhere near the levels consistently of Sol Campbell, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand. He's nowhere near that level. He's had two good seasons."
It took Sir Alex Ferguson 5 years to get things right.
It took Klopp 5 years to get things right.
It took Arteta 5 years before he started competing for the league.
It took Pep 2 years & that’s because he had an unlimited budget.
Ruben Amorim deserves more time. #Mufc
Stand by him. I promise the rebuild is needed with him. A clear plan with a manager who won’t change.
We have needed this at Man Utd and it hasn’t happend since Ferguson.
Back him!!!!

🚨Sir Alex built a dynasty.
The Glazers inherited it and bled it dry.
12 seasons without a league title.
£1.1B drained.
From champions to chaos, all while they sat in Florida.
The Glazers don’t care about football, only profits
This isn’t ownership. It’s betrayal.
