With Paulo Dybala now no longer moving to Old Trafford, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is again on the lookout to add some creativity to his Manchester United side.

If it's creativity that the Red Devils manager is after, then that's certainly something that Christian Eriksen offers up.

As the Spurs playmaker is now in the final year of his contract, Mauricio Pochettino and Daniel Levy are well aware that they could lose the Denmark international for nothing at the end of the season - which is why new reports say that Spurs are prepared to accept an offer in the region of £70 million for a player they at one point valued in the £130 million bracket.

For United's part, these same reports suggest that the Manchester outfit are only prepared to offer £50 million for Eriksen.
