Tottenham Hotspur attacking midfielder Christian Eriksen has been linked with a move to a number of clubs over his career and his agent has recently opened up about a possible move to Manchester United.
“I don’t comment on rumours much,” he told Danish new outlet BT. “But when clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United are mentioned, it’s always a compliment. Since Christian was 14-years-old, big clubs have shown interest.”
“The first were Chelsea, AC Milan and Barcelona, since then there has been no transfer window without any offer or interest. It is not all clubs known by the press.Christian is not a guy who wants to talk too much. He talks with his feet.”
Eriksen has been in imperious form for the last few seasons not just for Pochettino’s men but also for the national team whom he helped qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. He arrived at Tottenham Hotspur back in 2013 for a mere £11million and has been extremely influential in his time at London.
If he were to move to Manchester United, he would certainly add way more quality to the already inflated Manchester United attack. Mourinho’s men signed Alexis Sanchez last month and have enough attackers to help them cope without adding Eriksen. The Red Devils’ boss has certainly ruled out any further signings in the final third.
“That’s the point, that’s the objective. The objective is now that we have only one No 9 – apart from Zlatan and let’s forget about Zlatan for the moment – we have only one No 9 and by having one No 9, now we have more No 9s.”
“We have Alexis, Lukaku, Martial, Rashford,” the United manager explained. “Rashford can play on the left and the right, Alexis is exactly the same. All of them apart from Lukaku can play from behind as the second striker.
“That’s why I say that it’s bad for you because you like to have things to write and speculate, especially in the summer, but I don’t want attacking players so don’t speak about attacking players that are coming here because nobody is coming here.”
“We have Mata, Lukaku, Rashford, Martial, Alexis, I don’t want attacking players,” he insisted. “Speculation in the summer you have to go to other areas, attacking players I am really happy.
This would mean that any rumour of Eriksen moving to Manchester United should be treated with casual care for now and certainly not taken seriously as such a move is unlikely to take place in the near future.
