Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen has reportedly rejected an offer from Manchester United.

It is understood United made contact with Eriksen's representatives over a potential move.

However, according to journalist Tom McDermott, the Danish playmaker has given a clear “no" to the proposal.

He added that United are having trouble recruiting players without the lure of Champions League football.

McDermott tweeted: "Told that #MUFC did ask about Christian Eriksen but it was a “no" from the Dane and his team.

"Spain is his first choice, but Solskjaer's problem is attracting players.

"Elite level would prefer a Champions League club. Even the “next best" have reservations."

Real Madrid and Barcelona are both reportedly interested in the 27-year-old.
