TalkSPORT pundit Danny Murphy believes Manchester United's potential signing of Christian Eriksen is not the type of move they should be making if they want to challenge the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea. Eriksen was said to be a target for Newcastle United this summer, but reports this week suggest the Danish international is edging closer to signing for Man United on a free transfer in the coming days.
The 30-year-old spent the second half of last season at Brentford, as he looked to return to the pitch following his collapse at the European Championships last year. Despite his enforced break away from the pitch, Eriksen came back to the Premier League and produce a number of impressive performances for the Bees, helping them to a 13th place finish in their debut top-flight campaign.
Conversely, Man United endured a disappointing season last term, finishing in sixth place. Signing Eriksen is likely an upgrade on Man United's current crop of midfielders.
