Manchester United have ruled out making a bid to bring Christian Eriksen to Old Trafford in this window.

Reports have linked United with a £20m offer for the Tottenham midfielder, who is out of contract at the end of the season, but no bid has been made.

United held discussions with Spurs about a deal for Eriksen last summer but the player remained in north London.

"Because they have been here for such a long time, they are living the life of the club in the past four, five years, the transition to White Hart Lane to the best stadium in the world, the perspectives of the future, the vision of the club, if I was them I would say I want to be part of the next thing."

The 27-year-old has made 24 appearances for Spurs this season.

According to Sky Italy, Inter are currently prioritising their pursuit of Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal.
