Manchester United want Tottenham Hotspur to keep them in the loop about Christian Eriksen.

As reported by The Daily Mail, Red Devils manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen for the lowdown on the Dane, who is into the final year of his contract with the north Londoners.

United have been loosely linked with Eriksen this summer, but no offers have been lodged by the club.

The Mail claim Spurs are looking for around £70 million to sell Eriksen, who has shown little interest in signing an extension.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have all been linked with the 27-year-old, but the report states that United are now ‘genuine contenders’ for Eriksen’s signature.

TBR’s view

Surely Spurs will not sell Eriksen to United this summer.

Solskjaer’s side is crying out for top-class midfielder – and will be even more desperate if Paul Pogba leaves – but Tottenham should not be the ones to help them out with that.

With one year left on his deal, £70 million would be a great deal for Tottenham but Daniel Levy shouldn’t be entertaining the idea of selling to a Premier League rival.

Levy should kindly decline United’s ‘request’ of keeping them in the loop and instead seek to offload the playmaker abroad, so he cannot come back to haunt them – at least in domestic competitions.
