Christian Eriksen could 'move to Man United' says pundit
Manchester United’s bid to sign Christian Eriksen could take a hit, as Inter Milan have reportedly entered the race to sign the Danish playmaker. Eriksen is wanted by a host of European clubs ahead of the expiry of his contract at the end of the season.

However, as he is showing no signs of wanting to extend his deal in north London, teams seem unwilling to pay the £40million Spurs want in this window.
That’s apparently the case with Inter Milan, too.
The Italian giants are continuing to challenge for the Serie A title, and could use Eriksen for the second half of the season.
But according to the Daily Mail, Antonio Conte’s side are keen to wait until next summer before making a move.

If they do, they’ll likely face competition from the likes of United, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, as Eriksen will be one of the most sought-after free transfers in recent years.
Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho insisted he knows what Eriksen wants to do regarding his future.
While he refused to say what his player wanted, he opened up on having talks with the star after his performance in Spurs’ draw with Norwich.
“I don’t want to speak about it, because I speak with him, we are so open with each other because we trust each other in the sense that we keep to ourselves,” he said.

“Obviously I share with my boss, Christian knows that, every conversation we have I have to share with my boss, but it’s just between us, so I don’t want to say much.
“The only thing I can say is that he is trying to help the team like he did today, I’m happy with his Man of the Match.
“I think Christian was very good.”
