Agents for Christian Eriksen are eager to force through a move to Manchester United for the Tottenham star, it has been claimed.

The Daily Mail says representatives of Eriksen are hopeful of negotiating a move and those close to the 27-year-old Dane revealed on Monday he is at the top of United's list.

United are working to finalise their incomings, but they will have until September 2 to negotiate sales, including that of Paul Pogba, to foreign clubs.

Eriksen had hoped to move to Real Madrid but the Spanish side have shown more interest in Pogba and Ajax's Donny van de Beek.

Should Eriksen remain at Tottenham after Thursday's deadline, the likes of Juventus and Atletico Madrid will consider making cut-price bids of around £50million to tempt Spurs.

Eriksen's contract expires in 2020, meaning Tottenham risk losing him for nothing next summer.
