A report claims that Manchester United may be offered the chance to sign Christian Eriksen from Inter Milan if they hand over Fred as part of an exchange deal.

Inter Milan are reportedly weighing up a swap deal with Manchester United that would see Christian Eriksen and Fred swap clubs in the January transfer window.

Eriksen has struggled to hold down a regular place in Inter's starting lineup since joining from Tottenham Hotspur in the second half of last season.

The Denmark international has managed just four goals and three assists in 33 games for the Nerazzurri.

Man United are rumoured to be interested in bringing Eriksen back to the Premier League next year, and Inter are open to the idea of getting the playmaker off their books.

Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport suggests that one possible option for Antonio Conte's side is to offer Eriksen in exchange for Fred, but United may need some persuading to offload the Brazilian.

The same report indicates that Leandro Paredes and Granit Xhaka, of Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal respectively, are also being eyed up by Inter if they can first get rid of Eriksen.
