Man Utd are considering a January move for Eriksen (Goal)
Man utd news update live:
The Denmark international's contract is up at the end of the season and has previously been linked with Real Madrid and Juventus
Manchester United are considering a January move for Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to further improve his squad.
Following a disastrous start to the season for the Red Devils, additions to the squad could be made as soon as the winter window given Solskjaer retains the backing of executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.
United are aware that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is keen to avoid losing Eriksen on a free transfer when his contract ends at the end of the season.
And if United and Tottenham can agree a cut-price fee for the Denmark international, then he will move to Old Trafford at the start of 2020.
Eriksen is understood to prefer a move to Spain and ideally Real Madrid, and United’s current standing is well behind other traditionally big European sides.
There is also the likelihood that the playmaker may have to compromise on the level of wages he could otherwise demand as a player moving on a free transfer.
One factor potentially in United’s favour is the uncertain future of Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane.
Los Blancos have failed to click under their three-time Champions League winning manager since his return to the club in March, and pressure is mounting after a transfer window that saw over £300m ($369m) spent on new players.
If Zidane were to depart before the end of the current season it could lead to a change in transfer targets at Santiago Bernabeu.
