Christian Eriksen will be the odd man out if Manchester United can finally get a deal for Frenkie de Jong over the line.
That’s the view of Match of the Day pundit Danny Murphy, who can see the Dane becoming a squad player should Erik ten Hag land his top target. The Red Devils spent much of last summer trying to agree a deal for the Dutch midfielder, who was earmarked as a priority signing for the new United boss.
However, despite months of negotiating and Barcelona appearing open to selling, De Jong remained at the Camp Nou. The 25-year-old was determined to fight for his place with the LaLiga giants, with his stance vindicated since becoming a regular under Xavi.
