Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen is reportedly not a target for Fenerbahce, despite rumours linking him with a potential reunion with Jose Mourinho.

The Danish international, who signed for the Red Devils in the summer of 2022, is widely anticipated to depart the club when his contract ends at the end of the season.

As it stands, there are no indications that United are planning to offer the veteran a new contract, and if the situation stays the same, Eriksen will be able to open discussions with interested clubs in a few weeks.

Among the clubs that have been linked with the 32-year-old is Celtic, although his high wages may pose a potential obstacle in getting a deal done.

Fenerbahce not considering Eriksen transfer in January

In recent weeks, the Dane has been linked to Fenerbahce, with reports suggesting that Mourinho, who worked with Eriksen at Tottenham Hotspur, is eager to reunite with him in Turkey.

However, according to journalist Rudy Galetti, a move to the Super Lig for Eriksen in January is unlikely, as the Turkish outfit does not consider the 32-year-old a concrete target.

Galetti added that Fenerbahce are exploring options to strengthen their midfield, but so far, the Manchester United midfielder is not on their radar.

Eriksen has not featured for the Red Devils since Ruben Amorim's first match against Ipswich Town when he started alongside Casemiro in midfield.

The Denmark international has made 14 appearances across all competitions this season, contributing four goals and three assists.

Amorim eyeing another Dane to replace Eriksen?

Since Amorim's arrival at Old Trafford, the Portuguese coach has been linked with several players from his former club Sporting Lisbon, including the likes of Geovany Quenda and Viktor Gyokeres.

However, one player whose name has been cropping up more regularly as a potential replacement for Eriksen is his compatriot Morten Hjulmand.

TEAMtalk revealed earlier this week that Amorim is uncertain that Casemiro and Eriksen are suited to his vision in midfield, and added that the Red Devils are "definitely planning a move" for the 25-year-old Sporting star in January.

Hjulmand signed a five-year contract with the Primeira Liga champions at the start of last season, which is believed to include a £66.3m release clause.
