Man Utd will make transfer move for Tottenham star Christian Eriksen on one condition



Posted Tuesday, December 10, 2019 by Express.co.uk

Manchester United will move for Christian Eriksen if the Tottenham star makes it clear he's keen on a move to Old Trafford, according to reports. Spurs face losing the Denmark international for nothing at the end of the campaign with his contract in north London winding down.

Manchester United pondered signing Eriksen back in the summer transfer window, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side entering talks with Tottenham over a transfer.

However, they eventually opted against signing the Denmark international after being led to believe that the midfielder had his heart set on a move to Spain.

Despite that, though, United remain interested. And 90min quote an insider as saying they'll make a move - should Eriksen make it known he's open to joining the Red Devils.

"Of course, the club would be interested," a club source told the publication.

"The club have a longstanding interest in Eriksen, but the player would need to make it known he is keen on the move – something he hasn't been in previous windows."

Tottenham may sell Eriksen for just £40million in January, with Daniel Levy reluctant for him to leave on the cheap.

Signing him will not be easy, however, particularly given United's strained relationship with Tottenham over the past decade.

Levy was furious when Spurs were bullied into selling Dimitar Berbatov to the Red Devils in 2008, something they'd insisted wouldn't be happening.

And the Tottenham chief has stopped United from signing Toby Alderweireld, Eric Dier, Gareth Bale and Luka Modric in the years since.

Eriksen, for his part, is said to be keen to consider his options.

The Tottenham star is reportedly hopeful that Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich will all try and lure him away from the Premier League.

But, if that doesn't happen, United could be his next destination.

Meanwhile, Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho recently admitted that he expected Eriksen to go at the end of the season.

But he refused to open up on the details of his conversation with the playmaker.

"My feelings are until I have anything official rather than hypothetical, I will not comment," he said.

"The only thing I can say is the player is a free agent at the end of the season.

"Of course I've had a conversation with him, but I'm not sharing anything, from respect with the player."

United are also thought to be keen on a move for Leicester's James Maddison.

But, with Eriksen seemingly more-attainable, they may end up signing the playmaker from Tottenham in January instead.
