Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen again after distancing themselves from their Bruno Fernandes pursuit.
United are desperate to bolster their midfield options ahead of what is expected to be a hectic final week in the transfer market as they look to secure Champions League football next season.
And according to the Independent, United have reignited their interest in Danish midfielder Eriksen, whose Spurs contract expires next summer.

Eriksen was holding out for a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid but they are now in pursuit of Ajax star Donny van de Beek.
Juventus have also shown interest in the Tottenham midfielder but any deal would depend on Paulo Dybala’s future, who is reluctant to go to Old Trafford in a swap deal involving Romelu Lukaku.
United have recently backed off from their pursuit of Sporting Lisbon and Portugal star Fernandes.
This has opened the door for Tottenham to make their move for Fernandes, with club officials understood to have been in Portugal on Thursday to negotiate a swoop.
Talks between the two clubs continued in Lisbon on Friday after Sporting rejected an initial offer in the region of £40million.
