Manchester United join Christian Eriksen fight with Erik ten Hag keen on free transfer

Manchester United have joined the race to sign Christian Eriksen following his spectacular return to the Premier League.

New United boss Erik ten Hag is looking for midfield reinforcements - and is looking to make his budget stretch as far as possible as he plots to bring in six new signings this summer. Eriksen has now emerged as an option for the Reds after his brilliant cameo with Brentford since January.

The 30-year-old Dane is back to his best after being released by Inter Milan when he had to be fitted with an implantable cardiovascular defibrillator when he suffered a cardiac arrest playing for Denmark at the Euros almost a year ago. Ten Hag got a close-up view of Eriksen’s bid to rescue his career when he allowed the 30-year-old to train with his Ajax squad to build-up his fitness before joining Brentford.
