Manchester United to sign prodigious Danish striker thanks to Christian Eriksen – report

Christian Eriksen makes his Manchester United debut against Atletico Madrid in Oslo.

Manchester United are hopeful of signing highly-coveted Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund, thanks to the influential presence of Christian Eriksen at Old Trafford.

Manchester Evening News report that Eriksen could play a key role in sealing a deal for his compatriot, with the Atalanta youngster likely to move to a new club this summer. Hojlund has been linked with a number of Europe's top sides, including Chelsea, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, but Manchester United are confident of winning the race thanks to Eriksen, who will be asked to appeal directly to his interntional team-mate.
