# Manchester United: Fans demand ‘ready made’ Christian Eriksen during January

**Following the commencement of the highly anticipated January transfer window, supporters from every club are set to watch their team battle it out for much-needed acquisitions ahead of the second portion of the season – with Manchester United fans, in particular, demanding that their club prioritise signing Christian Eriksen.**

\[freshpress-poll id=”270706″\]

Responding to a[tweet from Utd Report](https://twitter.com/stebonesjones/status/1212803750617849858?s=21) asking which player fans wanted to see come through to Old Trafford, a huge portion of them responded with Eriksen’s name – citing the fact he is a ‘ready made player’ and could fill the void left by Paul Pogba if he decides to leave.

The Spurs midfielder has bagged an overall [69 goals and 89 assists in 300 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.com/christian-eriksen/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/69633)for the London side, as well as [95 caps](https://www.transfermarkt.com/christian-eriksen/nationalmannschaft/spieler/69633) on the international stage for Denmark. This season, the former Ajax man has averaged 1.5 key passes per game ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/69344/Show/Christian-Eriksen)) across all competitions – better than almost the [entire United squad](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/32/Show/England-Manchester-United) (aside from Pogba and Ashley Young) despite his relatively limited involvement in the Premier League.

Clearly, he has a creative ability and the [Independent](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/manchester-united-news-transfer-arsenal-james-maddison-jack-grealish-january-latest-a9267416.html) recently suggested the club did want to line up transfer targets on that front, so a move would certainly make sense. Previously linked with a move to Old Trafford by the [Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-eyeing-christian-eriksen-21034408), it seems the Dane is a popular figure amongst Red Devils online.

As a result, United supporters have been keen for their club to snap up Jose Mourinho’s star man in what could be a clever move.

Here’s what they had to say on Twitter.

> Eriksen. He’s a ready made player, ready to make an impact. One Sir Alex would of took in a heartbeat.

> Look, we have enough young players (talents & deadwoods). We need some experienced players who cam drive the youngsters like Rashy, Tony, Greenwood and James.

> So, I’m talking Eriksen obviously. Experienced, creative, can score, lead, take amazing set pieces. Perfecto.

> Eriksen is the best fit for United. Same age as Lingard but 10 times the player for the same position. Maybe Spurs would do a straight swap for Lingard considering he goes for free in 6 months.

> eriksen, would fit in well at no10, pogba as b2b, then fred or mctominay holding. Would be a start, add creativity to midfield and got set play delivery

> Eriksen, barely any money and he’s class. Will solve a lot in the midddle for us. Then someone on the right wing, but hard to find anyone good enough under a 100mil…

> Eriksen is a no brainer at 17m regardless of if he comes for the pay cheque or not. Any improvement to the midfield will help.
