Christian Eriksen would be a fantastic addition to the United team
Christian Eriksen is another feasible candidate for the role.at Manchester United. The Dane is proven in the Premier League, is tailor made for the central attacking position and has a huge admirer in Solskjaer. A team with Pogba orchestrating from deep and Eriksen pulling the strings in attack could make Manchester United title contenders. However, it seems that the dream is too good to be true.

The Red Devils were interested in the midfielder, but the player supposedly prefers a move to Spain. United have, as such, moved on from Eriksen and are considering alternative options in the market. However, there could still be a late twist in this saga.
Tottenham could be tempted to sell a player who is entering the final year of his contract, or risk losing him for free next summer. Manchester United are apparently the only suitors in the Premier League and even though Eriksen prefers a move to Spain, a deal is not unlikely. Spurs could actually be tempted to sell if United coming calling with a suitable offer.
What the papers say: United are no longer interested in Eriksen, while Spurs have held talks with Atletico Madrid regarding a transfer. The Spanish side, however, have made James Rodriguez their priority.
