Christian Eriksen snubbed Man Utd 'because of Juan Mata' before Erik ten Hag intervened

Christian Eriksen allegedly snubbed a transfer to Manchester United because of the treatment Juan Mata received before Erik ten Hag arrived on the scene and managed to change the midfielder's mind.

Denmark international Eriksen had been on Man United's radar for quite some time prior to this summer when they snapped him up on a free transfer following a short spell at Brentford.

The Red Devils first registered an interest in the 31-year-old when he was plying his trade at Tottenham back in 2019 and set about trying to poach the midfielder then as his contract in north London was beginning to wind down.
