Manchester United are reportedly prepared to cash in on Christian Eriksen when the transfer window reopens in January.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Manchester United were willing to keep Christian Eriksen until the end of the season. However, the Red Devils have now changed their stance on his future, and they are ready to cash in on him.
The Danish midfielder, who pockets £150,000-a-week wages, has struggled for regular game time this season, and he is no longer a key player for the club. It makes sense for the club to let go of him and free up the wage bill so that they can bring in quality signings in January.
Eriksen has shown his quality in the Premier League over the years, and he has been a key player for his country with 43 goals for Denmark. However, he is showing signs of decline and he is no longer the player used to be. The player is clearly past his peak and it would be ideal for Manchester United to get rid of him and bring in a younger midfielder with more potential.
Manchester United need an upgrade
Manchester United need to add more goals and creativity to their side, and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds. Meanwhile, Eriksen will be hoping to play regularly at this stage of their career, and an exit from Old Trafford would be ideal. He will look to get his career back on track with ample first-team action.
The midfielder has the quality and the experience to play for a big club, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. He will be hoping to join a club where he will get regular opportunities. He is in the twilight stage of his career and sitting on the bench at a big club is unlikely to be appealing for him. He will want to enjoy the final few years of his career at the highest level. The Denmark international can operate as a central attacking midfielder, and he will add goals and creativity to any side he joins.
