Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for French midfielder Adrien Rabiot, as uncertainty surrounds the future of Christian Eriksen at Old Trafford.

Eriksen, who struggled for regular playing time last season, has found himself in a similar situation this campaign, making just a single appearance—a brief four-minute cameo in United's 3-0 loss to Liverpool.

The Danish playmaker has expressed his desire for more consistent minutes on the pitch, but the arrival of Manuel Ugarte and the rise of young talent Kobbie Mainoo have further limited his opportunities.

As a result, United have reportedly made Eriksen available for transfer, with Anderlecht among the clubs expressing interest. The Red Devils may even consider letting Eriksen leave on a free transfer to offload his substantial £150,000-a-week salary.

Should Eriksen depart, Manchester United could turn their attention to Adrien Rabiot as a potential replacement. The 29-year-old midfielder, who left Juventus at the end of the last season, is currently a free agent and is weighing up his options.

Rabiot has an impressive track record, having enjoyed successful spells at Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, and would offer United a strong, experienced presence in the midfield.

Rabiot was previously linked with a move to Manchester United last season, but the deal fell through due to disagreements over personal terms. However, with Eriksen's future uncertain, Rabiot could be an ideal addition to United's midfield.

His ability to operate as a box-to-box midfielder would complement the defensive solidity of Ugarte and the youthful energy of Mainoo.

While several factors need to align for this transfer to materialize, the prospect of Rabiot donning the United shirt is an intriguing one. As a free agent, he could be signed at any time. So it remains to be seen if the transfer befalls now.
