Red Devils confident of landing Denmark international

Manchester United have opened talks with Christian Eriksen over a summer move from Tottenham, The Independent says.

Tottenham are open to selling the Denmark international as he has just one year left on his contract and they want to invest in new signings.

Spurs will hold out for upwards of £50 million for Eriksen and United are in pole-position, though he has also been linked to Real Madrid.

United are confident of getting a deal over the line before the transfer window closes at 5pm BST on Thursday.
