Manchester United 'set to move for Christian Eriksen
Manchester United are primed to make a move for Tottenham playmaker Chistian Eriksen after the Dane's transfer to Real Madrid broke down, according to reports.
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane wants Paul Pogba to join Hazard, meaning no place for Eriksen in his squad.
That has put Manchester United and Juventus on alert, with both keen on sealing his signing, according to the Mirror.
Eriksen has become a crucial player for Spurs since joining from Ajax for £11m in 2013, but his sale could finance significant rebuilding of the squad.
Eriksen has also suggested he is ready for a new challenge away from north London.
He said: 'I have the wildest and deepest respect for everything that has happened in Tottenham, nor will it be negative. But I have also said that I would like to try something new.
'I hope there will be a clarification during the summer. That's the plan. In football you do not know when a clarification comes. It can happen anytime. Everyone wants it best if it happens as soon as possible, but in football takes things time.
'It depends on Daniel Levy, and another club has to come. Or I have to sit down at the table and negotiate a new contract. You can't set a date yourself.'
