Manchester United 'face Liverpool battle' for £102m star and other transfer rumours

Manchester United will be busy preparing for a swift return to Premier League action this week.

The Reds were held to a 1-1 draw with Brentford on Saturday night in their first game after the international break. Mason Mount thought he had won the game for United in stoppage time, only for Kristoffer Ajer to equalise a couple of minutes later.

Now United will be looking ahead to their next Premier League match which sees them travel to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night. Erik ten Hag and Co. will still be determined to qualify for the Champions League by finishing in the top four this season.

Despite the season still having several weeks left to run, United are already being linked with potential transfers. This time, the rumours concern a possible new signing as well as a departure.

According to The Mirror, Christian Eriksen could be set to leave United this summer. It has been claimed that the Reds are "open" to the idea of allowing Eriksen to leave Old Trafford when the transfer window reopens in the summer.

Eriksen still has one year left to run on the three-year deal he signed with United as a free agent in 2022. The midfielder has made 21 appearances in all competitions for the Reds this season, but it has been stated that the emergence of Kobbie Mainoo as a first-team regular has seen the teenager be viewed as a key figure in midfield for the future at United. As a result, Eriksen's long-term future at Old Trafford is uncertain.
