Clarets supremo Brendan Flood and United's chief executive David Gill will re-open talks on valuations to avoid a tribunal if they can.
Eckersley quit Old Trafford to join the Premier League new boys at the end of his contract, but there will have to be a compensation fee because of his age.
Burnley boss Owen Coyle is hoping to snap up Eckersley for around �250,000 but United chief Sir Alex Ferguson is looking for a massive �2m - which is testing relations between the clubs.
