Manchester United new boy Christian Eriksen insists that a return to Tottenham was not a possibility this summer.

The Danish international moved to the Old Trafford club on a free transfer, after the expiry of his contract with Brentford.

Eriksen was linked to various clubs in the Premier League, including Tottenham, but claims United was the club he wanted to play for this season and beyond.

Asked about the possible Spurs move by Manchester Evening News, Eriksen stated: "It was only talk.

"They [Spurs] never really came with anything so it wasn't really a thing for me to go back to Tottenham at the time and Man United were in very early on, very positive and I had good conversations with them.

"It was very positive from the first few phone calls already and the club felt like they wanted me, so it was on for a long time."
