Manchester United expect to receive a formal offer for Christian Eriksen, with several clubs already exploring the conditions of a deal to land the veteran midfielder this summer.
According to an update by Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth, Christian Eriksen might not be a Manchester United player beyond the summer transfer window. The Red Devils expect to receive formal bids for the veteran Danish midfielder, with several clubs already exploring the conditions of a deal.
Christian Eriksen and his Manchester United journey so far
Christian Eriksen has been a dependable performer since joining Manchester United in a Bosman move in July 2022. The Dane was one of the first signings of the Erik ten Hag era at Old Trafford, with the veteran playmaker arriving at Manchester United after an impressive short stint with Brentford.
The 32-year-old was exceptional in the first half of the 2022/23 season, striking a formidable partnership with Casemiro. However, Eriksen’s stock has fallen since picking up an ankle injury midway through his debut campaign with Manchester United, although he has been a decent backup option in the last 18 months.
The Danish international has turned out 72 times thus far for Manchester United while chipping in with three goals and 13 assists. However, Eriksen faces an uncertain future at Old Trafford after entering the final 12 months of his contract with the Premier League heavyweights.
What next?
Widespread reports have suggested that Manchester United are ready to cash in on Christian Eriksen in the summer transfer window. The latest update has revealed that the Red Devils expect to receive formal bids for the veteran playmaker, with several clubs already exploring the conditions of a possible deal.
Recent reports have linked Eriksen with many well-known clubs across Europe, including Ajax and Anderlecht. However, Dharmesh Sheth has not revealed the identity of the clubs that have explored the conditions of a summer deal. Meanwhile, bolstering the midfield department is one of the objectives for Manchester United in the final days of the summer transfer window.
The Premier League heavyweights have several midfielders on their radar, including Manuel Ugarte, Sander Berge, and Sofyan Amrabat. As for Eriksen, it will be interesting to see if one of Erik ten Hag’s first signings will leave Manchester United this summer.
