Manchester United to ramp up efforts to sign Christian Eriksen as Bruno Fernandes nears Spurs move
Expectation subversion. That's the stuff this transfer window has stood out for. Just when you thought that Paulo Dybala was close to joining Manchester United, the latter pulled the plug on the deal. All eyes then turned to Bruno Fernandes. Now it turns out, Manchester United are actually looking to sign Christian Eriksen from Tottenham Hotspur before the transfer window shuts.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have entered talks to sign Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon. Manchester United are hoping that Spurs will compromise on the Dane's price tag as he only has a year remaining on his contract. Giovani Lo Celso is still a priority for Spurs but in case they fail to sign him, they are trying to keep a back-up ready in Fernandes.
Manchester United might sell Paul Pogba if someone meets the Frenchman's valuation of £160 million. However, Ole would love to have both Pogba and Eriksen on his team.
