Christian Eriksen is a high priority summer target for Manchester United.

And United bosses are willing to TREBLE Eriksen's weekly wage to £240,000-a-week to lure the Tottenham playmaker to Old Trafford.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been in talks with transfer negotiator and executive vice chairman Ed Woodward about a squad over-haul this summer – and Eriksen is in the Norwegian's plans.

Trying to persuade Spurs chairman Daniel Levy to sell one of his top stars to another Premier League rival is normally an impossible task.

But Eriksen, currently on around £80,000-a-week, is just two months away from entering the final year of his contract – and has so far kept his options open by refusing to commit to a new Tottenham deal.

Eriksen was a boyhood Real Madrid fan and would jump at the chance to play under Bernabeu boss Zinedine Zidane who is also preparing to shake up his squad this summer.

But the priorities for Madrid appear to be Chelsea striker Eden Hazard and United's Paul Pogba.

And that could play into United's hands as they look to bring in the 27-year-old midfielder who has emerged as one of Europe's most talented play-makers.

Senior figures at White Hart Lane are increasingly concerned that Eriksen won't re-sign as the deal he's looking for would need to match the £200,000 they're paying striker Harry Kane.

Levy sees that deal as a “one-off” for Spurs to protect their number one asset and the offer to Eriksen has fallen well short of the figures given to Kane.

Handing Eriksen up to £250,000-a-week would be no problem for United.

But even with just a year left on his deal they'd have to pay a hefty transfer fee up to £95 million - or more - with Levy certain to demand a big fee to let the Dane leave.

Spurs, though, are already actively planning for Eriksen's possible departure with Leicester's James Maddison on their list of potential successors.
