Manchester United fans should have gotten used to being linked with Tottenham players, past and present.
Persistent rumors linking Mauricio Pochettino to the Old Trafford hot seat have made it inevitable.
On top of that, the Red Devils’ start to the season has been disappointing, even if they are still only three points away from Champions League spots.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been faced with the strange conundrum of having a plethora of attacking players on their rosters and yet has managed to make United look totally uncreative on several occasions.
That was the case once again in Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Manchester City.
United have largely played with the addition of another forward who can play wide, hence their lengthy search for Jadon Sancho in the summer, which ultimately came to nothing.
Another option is to approach a playmaker who would play behind players like Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, and Mason Greenwood.
According to The Sun, that has prompted United to consider an approach for former Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen, who is enduring a completely miserable spell at Inter Milan.
The Dane only signed for the Nerazzuri 11 months ago, but has already fallen out of favor with Antonio Conte.
Eriksen has made a total of 37 appearances and has scored four goals. This period has been restricted to just 274 minutes in Serie A.
Tellingly, when it really mattered, like last season’s Europa League final, he was left on the bench.
Inter signed the 28-year-old for just £ 17 million, a cut because he only had 18 months left on his contract with Spurs. José Mourinho had also given Eriksen limited playing time due to his reluctance to compromise his future with the club.
According to Transfermarkt, it is now worth £ 45 million.
According to the same report, it appears that Inter were also interested in a trade when they initially broached the subject with their fellow Arsenal fans.
It’s unclear what form a potential United deal would take, but Solskjaer is clearly already looking for reinforcements in his offensive midfield in light of new doubts about Paul Pogba’s future.
