As for Alderweireld, United will probably just try to sign Maguire instead. According to the Telegraph, they'd be willing to pay 60m plus add-ons.

Yeah I saw that offer for Maguire and it sure looks like they would sell Martial for that kind of money and then use that for the offer. Lots of clubs want to sell to buy these days, so that just makes sense.
The media and these reports can't be trusted of course, but if they can, there are quite a few linking Martial to Spurs and people saying that he wants to work under Poch. I have no clue how valid it is, and in some ways I don't even see the point of him at Tottenham because I don't know who he gets into the lineup ahead of? He's not taking Dele or Eriksen out and its debatable whether he's better than Son or Lucas. Is that worth spending this kind of money on him?
I still want him because he could be so awesome, and the delight of getting the next foolish Mourinho cast-off is just too compelling. I just don't know if it's sensible at all.
