Christen Eriksen Speaks Out Following Manchester United Offer For Midfielder

Christian Eriksen has spoken about his future in an interview, following reports that Manchester United have made an offer for the 30-year-old.

He was a key player for Brentford in an impressive debut campaign in the modern day top flight for The Bees.

There have been reports that have suggested that a move back to The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium or to Erik ten Hag’s United are the most likely destinations for the midfielder.

Christian Eriksen signed for Brentford on a six-month deal in January.

Tuesday morning introduced reports that suggested a Spurs are “quietly confident” of a reunion with Eriksen.

However, since then, the ever reliable David Ornstein has revealed that United have made an offer to sign the player who is available on a free transfer.

He added that Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong is United’s top midfield target, but it is understood that talks between the two clubs have some way to go before a conclusion, and that United have other options, of which, Eriksen is one.

It is yet to be seen whether this news means that The Reds are trying to press Barcelona into a decision regarding the Dutch midfielder, or whether it is a possibility that both players could join the club, since one will be on a free transfer.

In addition to the reports, Eriksen has spoken on his future to Viaplay.

He said: “I have different offers and options, which we are considering, and then we make a decision.

“I would love to play Champions League football again. I know how much fun it is, but it isn’t essential for me.”

This will be good news to United, who will be playing in the Europa League next season.

That’s thanks to last season’s sixth placed finish following a dreadful campaign under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick.

Not being in Europe’s elite has impacted United in deals so far, with it being reported as a block in the Darwin Nunez chase before he finalised on a move to Liverpool.

It has also impacted the Frenkie de Jong deal as he originally wanted to remain in the Champions League, but reports in recent days have suggested that he has warmed to Erik ten Hag’s proposal.

The midfielder had 90 assists during his time at Tottenham and continued to show his class last season with Brentford, where he bagged four assists in 10 starts.
