Manchester United shock favourites to sign Christian Eriksen

Christian Eriksen in action for Spurs

Christian Eriksen's contract talks at Spurs have stalled and with the 26-year-old having no dearth for admirers is already being eyed by several top clubs. Now, as per The Sun, Manchester United are odds-on favourites to sign the Danish midfielder.

Eriksen has 18 more months on his current contract. However, if he refuses to extend his contract, Christian Eriksen will be available for a cut-price deal.

Katie Baylis of Betfair said,

“With talks apparently stalling between Spurs and Eriksen on signing a new deal, there’s murmurings of interest from other clubs.

"We think that’s unlikely in this window and we make it 1/10 that he will still be at Spurs come the 1st of Feb.

"However the summer window could be more realistic and while he’s still odds-on at 4/9 to stay at Tottenham, United are 6/1 favourites if he was to leave, with Pochettino currently favourite to be in charge at Old Trafford next season.

"There’s also been talk of him heading to Spain and both Real and Barca are 7/1 to secure his signature in the summer.”
