Do you have a source for Tel rejecting us for Spurs as you're claiming?I can see why it's hard to follow given how your stance has changed in the past 24 hours.
According to you, Utd showed their pull with players by beating other top clubs to the signing of Yoro and the reports that Tel wanted to join you. When others pointed out that Real weren't willing to pay anything like what Utd paid for Yoro (they wanted him on a free this summer iirc) you dismissed the argument and said Yoro could have just rejected Utd if that was the case. Fast forward 24 hours and Tel is now joining Spurs and your first reply is 'well Spurs must have paid a hefty fee'. There a clear inconsistency in how you see Utd signing players and players signing for other clubs.
I think in the case of both players, certainly Yoro (we don't have enough info on Tel yet), that Utd fended off interest from other clubs by paying well in excess of what others were willing, giving Yoro one choice. It's very possible that will prove to be the case here too.
