Man United scouts watch Denmark beat Austria amid interest in Eriksen and Laimer

Manchester United's scouts kept a close eye on summer transfer targets Christian Eriksen and Konrad Laimer during Denmark's 2-1 victory against Austria on Monday.

New Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag wants to sign Eriksen following his fruitful spell with Brentford since January, especially as his short-term contract expires at the end of this month.

And Manchester United were one of the teams named on the scouting list during Denmark's Nations League clash in Vienna, alongside fellow Premier League outfits Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham.

The former Spurs playmaker assisted Jens Stryger Larsen's 84th minute winner to keep Denmark at the summit of League A Group One, ahead of Austria, France and Croatia.

Eriksen's fruitful spell with Brentford reminded world football of his talents, as he scored once and assisted four in eleven appearances on his return - before January, the Dane had not played any competitive football since his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 last year.

Although Ten Hag is eyeing a swoop for fellow countryman Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona, Eriksen would prove a reliable alternative should in the engine room should they miss out on the 25-year-old.

Another midfielder reportedly riveting Manchester United's gaze is Austrian international Laimer, who played 42 appearances in all competitions for RB Leipzig last campaign.

According to German newspaper BILD, both United and Tottenham are keen to bring him to the Premier League.

New Austria head coach and former Red Devils boss Ralf Rangnick reportedly recommended Laimer as part of a serious summer reshuffle at Old Trafford.

Manchester United are seemingly waving goodbye to both Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba this summer and must act quickly to bolster the squad with midfield options.

Matic - who has been a Manchester United player since arriving in 2017 - is reportedly ready to reunite with former head coach Jose Mourinho in Roma, while Pogba is set to leave on a free transfer this summer.
