Christian Eriksen is ‘attracted’ by the prospect of lining up alongside Frenkie De Jong as Manchester United look to sign the midfield pair.
The Red Devils desperately need additions in the centre of the park ahead of Erik ten Hag's first season in charge. The likes of Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Juan Mata all departed at the end of their respective deals following the end of the 2021-22 season.
Barcelona star De Jong has long been United's No.1 target this summer, despite his initial reticence to leave Barcelona. Ten Hag is keen to be reunited with his compatriot having enjoyed a fruitful relationship with the playmaker at former club Ajax. So far, the Red Devils have struggled to find an agreement with the Catalan giants regarding a transfer but a breakthrough in talks has seen United inch towards completing a £68m deal for the Dutchman.
