The Red Devils are not alone in wanting to sign Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen.
The 20-year-old Eriksen has constantly been linked to an Old Trafford move, after his talented displays for his Dutch side Ajax of Amsterdam.
Manchester United has a huge gap in midfield due to injuries, and aging players with Paul Scoales having to come back into the side to fill in.
Sir Alex Ferguson thinks that the young Danish star could be a perfect replacement.
If United are serious about signing Eriksen they must act fast as reports out of Italy suggest Serie A side Roma have expressed an interest in the Danish player.
Martin Scoots Eriksen’s agent said while talking to Italian Sports Radio, RTE Sport: “Roma is an interesting project, but the player is under contract until June 2014.
“We have had requests from various clubs, but no one knows what is going to happen in a few months.”
