Man Utd line up January transfer swoop for Tottenham contract rebel Christian Eriksen

MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly lining up a January swoop for Christian Eriksen.

Goal claims the Tottenham contract rebel could be in line for a move to a Premier League rival after entering the final year of his North London deal.

Eriksen will not be extending his stay with Mauricio Pochettino’s side and is set to leave on a free transfer next summer.

The Dane also has little intention of being shunted out in the January transfer window as he believes he will have better offers at the end of the season.

However, Eriksen is willing to move if the terms are right.

And United apparently believe they can lure the playmaker to Old Trafford at the start of 2020.

Doubts remain over Paul Pogba’s future as he looks to bag a new £600,000-a-week contract.

And Eriksen could be the perfect replacement for the Real Madrid and Juventus target.

Spurs are also ready to talk business as they are reluctant to lose Eriksen on a free transfer and would prefer to cash in.

One man who won’t be leaving Tottenham any time soon is French midfielder Moussa Sissoko.

He has put pen to paper on a new long-term deal, although Spurs will still look to land a replacement for Eriksen when he finally departs.
