Christian Eriksen has been told he must weigh up the added demands of playing for Manchester United against his mental and physical health as he considers his next move.
The 30-year-old has several suitors this summer, including former club Tottenham and Brentford, with whom he spent part of last season after returning to football less than a year after suffering a cardiac arrest. But it is an offer to join Erik ten Hag’s United revolution that is arguably the most intriguing. And former Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa striker Stan Collymore has warned the Dane to think hard about whether he needs the added pressures of playing for a club of that size.
Mirror Sport columnist Collymore said: “Top-quality players want to play at top-quality clubs and the juxtaposition between United and Brentford couldn’t be bigger. You couldn’t get a smaller club in the Premier League than Brentford and you couldn’t get a bigger club than United despite their travails.
