Man Utd now prepared to sell key midfielder in January

Manchester United are prepared to listen to offers for midfielder Christian Eriksen during the January transfer window.

The Denmark international joined the Red Devils on a free transfer last season and he had a brilliant first half to the campaign.

He failed to replicate in the back end of the season and the same has been the case this term before picking up a knee injury.

It is now reported that United are prepared to part ways with Eriksen when the transfer window reopens at the turn of the year.

The club are unlikely to receive a significant fee and they could demand close to £10-15m to sanction his departure next month.

The sum recouped could be used for the purchase of a new striker. Serhou Guirassy is the top target at the current point of time.

He has a release clause of just £15m in his Stuttgart contract and would be a top signing. He has netted 18 goals in just 13 games.
