Manchester United have reportedly made contact with Tottenham Hotspur regarding the signing of midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
The 28 year old Danish player has two years left on his contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but he is no longer seen as necessary by manager Ange Postecoglou.
Erik ten Hag, the Dutch manager of United, has been looking to strengthen his midfield after three poor performances to start the season. Ten Hag and Hojbjerg worked together when he was Bayern Munich's reserve manager.
Hojbjerg's signing would bring much needed stability to the base of United's midfield that has been lacking with Casemiro alone so far this season.
Tottenham had previously accepted a £30m offer from Atletico Madrid for Hojbjerg this summer, but the move never materialised. With Mason Mount set to miss a month of action, United have been alerted to Hojbjerg's availability and have now made their initial contact with Tottenham.
The Red Devils, however, face a difficult task in striking a deal with Daniel Levy in the final days of the transfer window. They are also looking at Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina and Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich as potential signings.
It's clear that Manchester United are looking to add more depth and strength to their midfield, and Hojbjerg could be just the man for the job.
