Christian Eriksen is back on Manchester United's transfer radar.The Red Devils are said to be preparing a January bid for the Tottenham midfielder, whose contract expires at the end of the season.

Eriksen reportedly turned down a move to Old Trafford earlier this year. Could Jose Mourinho unintentionally do his old employers another favour?
