Mauricio Pochettino's surprise stance on Christian Eriksen to Manchester United transfer claims

Christian Eriksen is not in Mauricio Pochettino’s long-term plans at Tottenham and has not been since he confessed that he wants a new challenge. At the time, Real Madrid was keen on securing his signature and he spoke out about the transfer speculation surrounding him. "I feel that I am a place in my career where I might want to try something new," Eriksen told Ekstra Bladet. "I have the wildest and deepest respect for everything that has happened in Tottenham, nor will it be negative. But I have also said that I would like to try something new." Now Manchester United are working on a sensational deal in order to sign Tottenham star. Whether United put up the cash and make the transfer happen in the next two days, remains to be seen.
