Report: Man Utd are eyeing move for experienced Spurs player in January 

According to the print edition of Corriere dello Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness), Manchester United are eyeing a move for Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Over the past couple of weeks, multiple Italian outlets have backed Juventus to make a move for Hojbjerg when the transfer window reopens in January (CalcioMercato).

Over the last couple of days, it has emerged that the Old Lady could face competition from Atletico Madrid (Sport Mediaset) and AS Roma (IlRomanista), both of whom are thought to have their eye on the Spurs star.

Man Utd also interested in Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

Corriere dello Sport have now also reported on Juve’s interest in Hojbjerg and they reveal that the Serie A giants could also face a challenge from the Red Devils, who ‘like’ the 28-year-old.

The report adds that Tottenham want a minimum of €30m (£26m) to part ways with the Denmark international in January.

Tottenham will be hoping for a bidding war to ensue so that they can get maximum value for Hojbjerg, but at the same time, the club might not want to strengthen a Premier League rival and could thus consider selling him for a lower fee to Spanish or Italian sides.
