Only yesterday we revealed that the Red Devils were preparing a late raid for the signature of Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Christian Eriksen. The Denmark International midfielder was first expected to be a direct replacement for Paul Pogba, however, it was soon revealed that Solskjaer had space for both superstars in his team. When it was looking increasingly likely that United could get their hands on the fourth signing of this summer, there has been a surprising development in the saga.

Manchester United have ended their pursuit of Christian Eriksen, amid fears that the player does not have his heart on the move. Solskjaer is believed to be a big admirer of the Dane, but United have realized that Eriksen has his sights on a move to Spain.

The Red Devils only want to recruit players who are willing to move to Old Trafford, which is why the Paulo Dybala deal never materialized. It seems that United have decided to move away from Christian Eriksen for similar reasons. The Red Devils are still looking for other alternatives in the market.
