Rangers ‘looking at’ star who’s leaving Man Utd as ex Old Trafford scout shares transfer info he’s heard
Rangers have been tipped to go into free agency and after a transfer move for a star leaving Manchester United
A former scout at Manchester United says Rangers are looking at a deal for a player leaving Old Trafford this summer.
The Premier League side, like those at Ibrox, are looking at a squad overhaul after a disappointing campaign could not be overshadowed by Europa League progress. Man Utd have already confirmed a raft of exits including experienced defensive pair Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans.
Christian Eriksen is another who is confirmed to be on the move once his contract comes to a close. Ex Man Utd chief scout Mick Brown has claimed that Rangers are one of the clubs considering a move for the Danish international previously of Tottenham and Inter as they ponder free agent options. They have been linked with a number of veteran stars with Leicester City defender Conor Coady and free agent forward Jamie Vardy both recently touted.
Man Utd star claimed to be a Rangers transfer target
He told Football Insider: “Rangers have to be clever in the transfer market. They have to assess where they can get players who will lift the quality in the squad and help to close the gap to Celtic, but won’t cost too much money. From what I hear, they will look to explore the free agent market because there’s some quality there.
“They’re considering whether to take a chance on somebody like Christian Eriksen. He’s into his 30s now, he’s not going to get box to box, but he can pass and manipulate the ball in ways that their current crop of players can’t do. After leaving Man United, he’ll be looking for a new club and Rangers is an interesting opportunity.
