Manchester United's interest in Christian Eriksen does not rule out a move for No 1 target Frenkie de Jong as the club could sign both midfielders for new manager Erik ten Hag

Manchester United could sign both Frenkie De Jong and Christian Eriksen for new manager Erik ten Hag this summer.

It’s understood that United’s interest in Eriksen would not rule out a move for their No 1 target De Jong as talks continue with his club Barcelona.

Eriksen’s availability as a free agent is an attractive proposition for United who are working on a limited budget this summer after failing to qualify for the Champions League.

Although the former Tottenham and Ajax star is 30-years-old and No 10 is not a priority position for United – with Donny van de Beek set to return to Old Trafford as competition for Bruno Fernandes – the club need to replace three attacking midfielders following the departures of Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba who is close to rejoining Juventus.
