Manchester United not giving up on Christian Eriksen
MANCHESTER UNITED aren’t giving up in their attempts to bring Ajax midfield maestro Christian Eriksen to Old Trafford.
Although interest appears to have died down in recent weeks for the Dane, United are still in the market for a midfielder.
Sir Alex Ferguson has made Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha one of his main transfer targets, but Eriksen’s long-term future at Ajax could be in the balance.
And the United manager is keen to replace Paul Scholes with finesse and quality when he decides to retire.
Eriksen’s agent, Martin Schoots, indicated a move could still be on the cards.
You never know what might happen in football
He said: “Before Ajax's trip to Brazil (for their winter training camp), Christian's focus was on the big match coming up against Feyenoord and that is what he wants to keep focusing on.
“Christian just wants to concentrate on his football, but you never know what might happen in football.”
Eriksen has been in impressive form for the Eredivisie heavyweights this season and has scored five goals in all competitions.
