Christian Eriksen is reportedly interested in making the switch from Tottenham Hotspur to Manchester United in the January transfer window.

The Dane's current contract with the North London club expires at the end of the season and he was heavily linked with a move to the Red Devils in the summer.

While a deal fell through then because United believed that the 27-year-old was more interested in a move to Real Madrid, The Athletic reports that they could be set to rekindle their interest.

The report indicates that Eriksen is open to joining United, especially following Jose Mourinho's appointment as Tottenham boss and despite their poor start to the Premier League season.

The former Ajax schemer has scored two goals in 16 appearances across all competitions for Spurs this season.
