Man Utd considering late transfer bid for Spurs star Christian Eriksen amid doubts over Paul Pogba’s future
MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly considering a sensational move for Tottenham star Christian Eriksen.
With doubts over Paul Pogba's future at Old Trafford, Dane Eriksen has been targeted as the ideal replacement.
The reports the United hierarchy "have made their interest known in recent days".
But the deal is "considered difficult to pull off" before Thursday's deadline.
Spurs are desperate to hang on to Eriksen, but with just one year left on his current deal, a mega-money offer from United could tempt them.
And Spanish newspaper say Spurs playmaker Eriksen is now willing to join United rather than wait for Real Madrid.
TRANSFER MERRY-GO-ROUND
Midfield goal machine Bruno Fernandes, 24, has been linked with both Manchester giants but reports from Portugal suggest he is more excited by Champions League finalists Tottenham.
United's Paul Pogba, 26, could still be the key in a huge transfer chain linking some of Europe's biggest clubs.
Real are reportedly still pondering on bidding up to £150million for the French World Cup winner - despite Jose Mourinho doing his best to thwart the move.
And should that approach go through it would make Tottenham even more attractive to Fernandes as they would have a gap for an attacking player behind their frontmen.
