Man Utd chasing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg deal — Man Utd chasing Pierre-Emile H

28-year-old Hojbjerg has been at Spurs since 2020, played 113 games in the Premier League, scoring eight goals, but his time in North London is coming to an end as Ange Postecoglou looks to offload the former Southampton and Bayern Munich central midfielder.

It is understood that Ten Hag is a huge fan of Hojbjerg, and wants to pair the player with fellow countryman Christian Eriksen in the middle of the park at Old Trafford.

Man Utd may have some competition on their hands to sign Hojbjerg, as German club Werder Bremen and French giants Paris St Germain are also said to be interested.
