# Manchester United: Fans adore links with Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen

**The January transfer window is just weeks away from opening, and with [many rumours](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1216431/Man-Utd-Transfer-News-Saul-Niguez-Ed-Woodward-Jesse-Lingard-Fixtures-Line-Ups-Latest) concerning Manchester United’s potential moves, one particular link seems to have fans very excited in their desire to see a world-class attacking midfielder.**

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have been linked with an [array of star names](https://www.thefaithfulmufc.com/man-utd-could-move-to-sign-100million-attacking-midfielder-in-january-report/) in that position lately, including Sporting Lisbon [ace Bruno Fernandes](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1214984/Manchester-United-transfer-news-Bruno-Fernandes-Sporting-Lisbon-strong-interest), but a Premier League alternative in Christian Eriksen appears to have presented itself according to this latest [report from the Daily Mail.](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7787065/Manchester-United-pole-position-sign-Jadon-Sancho-ahead-rivals-Man-City-Liverpool.html)

Eriksen, who has made 295 appearances for Spurs since his move from Ajax, scoring 68 goals and assisting 88 others from midfield,[as per Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/69633), has reportedly been [unsettled in North London](https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/english-soccer/refocus-or-get-out-pochettino-warns-spurs-unsettled-stars-1.4017465) since the summer – with United looking to capitalise and acquire his signature in their bid to challenge for the title once again in the near future.

As a result, supporters on Twitter have been in full voice over his potential arrival, suggesting that Ed Woodward deserves a statue if he can land him and how he could be the perfect replacement for Juan Mata.

Take a look below…

> Eriksen would be better than Pereira and Lingard. He’s still an exceptional player who’s having an off season who could be acquired for a reduced price. The perfect replacement for Mata.
