Man Utd Makes Full Move To Sign Eriksen, Following Coutinho's Talks To Spurs

Manchester United are working on a deal to sign Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen in the final few days before the Premier League summer transfer window closes, having at long last wrapped up the £80m signing of Harry Maguire this week.

Eriksen has entered the final 12 months of his current Spurs contract and many have perceived his body language during pre-season as a sign he no longer wants to be at the club.

Real Madrid had been linked with the Danish international, who cost Spurs just £11m from Ajax during the summer of 2013, but the 13-time European champions now appear more likely to land Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek in their ongoing search for a midfielder.

United are confident of sealing the deal for Eriksen now, despite having only two days of the summer transfer window remaining.
