New Manchester United signing Christian Eriksen has explained how he rejected joining the club three times before saying yes to Erik ten Hag.
The Danish playmaker became United’s second signing of the summer transfer window last month – following the arrival of Tyrell Malacia and preceding that of Lisandro Martinez - as he put pen to paper on a three-year contract with the Red Devils.
The 30-year-old returned to the Premier League earlier this year as he joined Brentford after leaving Inter Milan but was a free transfer this summer. Eriksen opted to join United rather than sign a longer-term deal with the Bees, insisting that he was "excited" at the prospect of linking up with new United boss Ten Hag.
