Man Utd transfer news: Club confident of Christian Eriksen deal as Tottenham turn to Bruno Fernandes

Tottenham are ready to sell to Manchester United in order to push through a deal for Fernandes

Christian Eriksen and his camp are now giving serious consideration to a move to Manchester United, amid limited options ahead of the transfer window closing.

The Tottenham Hotspur playmaker’s contract is up next year, and he had been fully intent on joining Real Madrid this summer, with no willingness to sign a new deal.

The Spanish club have cooled their interest, though, leaving Eriksen with limited options.

Although there had been tentative interest from Bayern Munich and Juventus, only United have come in strongly.

Eriksen’s camp had previously been cool on the Old Trafford club themselves, given that they are not in the Champions League, but are now more open to an approach.

Spurs have had a new offer on the table for the 27-year-old, but would now prefer to move him on and rebuild, primarily through the signing of Sporting‘s Bruno Fernandes.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino also has reservations about keeping players who enter the last year of their contract and is now ready to sell the Dane.
