Saudi clubs looking to sign Man Utd midfielder?

A number of Saudi clubs are monitoring the situation of Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen ahead of the January transfer window.

The Dane started the campaign as a regular on the substitutes' bench but he played more frequently before the November international break.

Unfortunately, he picked up a knee injury in the process and United have confirmed that he won't be available to return until mid-December.

It is now reported that multiple clubs from the Saudi Pro League are keeping tabs on Eriksen and could be interested in signing him this winter.

They are prepared to spend around €20 million on the Dane, who was signed on a free transfer by United after his Brentford deal expired.

United are currently facing a midfield injury crisis with Casemiro, Mason Mount and Eriksen all on the sidelines with different concerns.

Eriksen could recover the earliest but we would be surprised if United contemplate his departure during the January transfer window.
