MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly considering a shock move for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, but fans of the club are demanding more.
Erik ten Hag is looking for midfield reinforcements and Hojbjerg is understood to be on his list.
According to The Telegraph, United are keen on signing Hojbjerg from Tottenham and the North London club have offered them the chance to open talks.
The Danish international looked as if he was going to be on his way to Atletico Madrid earlier in the window after Spurs accepted a £30million bid.
But the deal collapsed after Hojbjerg was unable to agree personal terms with the Spaniards.
Now it’s Ten Hag who is after the 28-year-old as he looks to add depth to his midfield which has already taken a hit through the injury of Mason Mount.

The Dutch boss has previously worked with Hojbjerg during his time as manager of Bayern Munich II.
Red Devils fans aren’t too impressed with Ten Hag’s latest target though with many of them taking to social media to voice their frustrations.
One fan wrote: “Manchester United need to sack this man.”
Whilst another added: “What is it with this guy and former players?”

A third commented: “I can’t go through the pain of another ten Hag Alumni!”
One other fan simply pleaded that it had to stop, posting: “Please, that’s enough.”
It is unknown whether United will progress talks with Tottenham over the deal, but Ten Hag is said to be keen on bringing in a midfielder before the window shuts on Friday.
Hojbjerg may not be the only Spurs player to make the move to Old Trafford in the remaining days of the window either.
Following the injury to Luke Shaw, reports are suggesting that United are considering a move for Spurs full-back Sergio Reguilon.
