Manchester United have already been told two key attributes Christian Eriksen would bring

Manchester United have already been told the two key attributes which Christian Eriksen will add to their team, should he move to Old Trafford this summer.

MEN Sport reported on Wednesday that United, along with his former club Tottenham Hotspur, are interested in signing Eriksen in this transfer window. The Danish international is a free agent currently after his contract at Brentford came to an end at the culmination of last season.

Eriksen, who suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, now has a decision to make as to where he sees his future with the Bees not ruling out re-signing him before the end of the window. When asked about the 30-year-old's time at the Brentford Community Stadium last month, Thomas Frank highlighted some of the traits United would gain if the Dane signed at the Theatre of Dreams.

The Brentford manager said of Eriksen's spell: "I don't think it could have gone any better. People ask me: 'Are you surprised by his level?' No.

"I think maybe when I watch more games with him, training sessions, and watch the games back. I have a feeling that he plays with an extra edge.

"Of course I ask him about it. It just feels like he plays with a combination of freedom, that little extra determination. He's enjoying it. He's a maestro on the pitch.

"He's the one that dictates the games. He's always been running and covering a lot of ground but his recovery runs, his willingness to come back into the box and clear balls, heading balls away, that you have to do when you play for Brentford, has been remarkable.

"I haven't seen that from him earlier in his career. It seems like he, I don't know, maybe cares a little bit more about everything."
