However, Levy will have a stroke if he leaves on a free. The United rumour seems a long shot given the relationship between United and levy, but I can see Spurs trying to sell him abroad for whatever they can get if he still refused to sign an extension.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted August 7, 2019 Author Subscriber Share Posted August 7, 2019 Manchester United have stepped up their attempts to secure a deal for Tottenham's Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen, 27. (Telegraph) Eriksen is not in Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino's long-term plans - and hasn't been since he admitted he wants a new challenge. (Mirror) United's late decision to chase Eriksen comes because they have doubts over whether France midfielder Paul Pogba, 26, will still be at Old Trafford at the end of the transfer window.

SirBalon Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 United HAVE to find quality cover for the departed Ander Herrera who moved to PSG. It's vital or they could find themselves in an even more serious decline this coming season. It's the most important part of the pitch, the balance, the equilibrium of a side. But in saying that... Moving from Spurs to Man Utd presently is absolutely mental in my opinion, a serious risk and it smells of a lot more money otherwise it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted August 7, 2019 Author Subscriber Share Posted August 7, 2019 Christian Eriksen: Man Utd hold talks with Tottenham midfielder but think he favours La Liga move Manchester United have held talks with Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen but believe he wants to move to Spain. Eriksen, 27, has scored 66 goals in 277 appearances for Spurs but said in June he might be keen on a new challenge. United have halted discussions with the Dane, who has one year left on his Tottenham contract and has previously been linked with a move to Real Madrid. The Old Trafford club have spent £140m this summer on Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James. United remain in talks with other potential targets, but the Premier League transfer window closes at 17:00 BST so they acknowledge the chance of completing any more deals is not high.

Carnivore Chris Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 He'd actually be better off at Atletico than Real to be honest as he's their missing piece. Just the type of player they need to complete their squad. He'd probably suit them better as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially now that they won't be getting James, who I didn't think would have been a good signing for them anyway. I don't think he'd turn it down either as he said he wants a new challenge outside England and Atletico, with what they are building right now(they are becoming one of those "super clubs") would be an ideal destination for someone in his position.

The Premier League decided to close the window for the start of new seasons last year and even though it's a very comprehensible directive, it puts Premier League clubs in a predicament for this exact reason you've mentioned.

But it doesn't just have to be top notch players who are poached without anything being able to be done about it,but also other players from clubs that can't resist in the division thus creating even more disparity between the more plwerful clubs and those looking to close the gap. If a Real Madrid came a long (in their current goalscoring predicament) and offered £200m for Kane, it would oush the boundaries in my view.
