Brentford boss Thomas Frank has admitted it will be “impossible” to replace Christian Eriksen’s quality after the midfielder opted to join Manchester United last month.
The Dane became a free agent this summer after his short-term contract with the Bees expired. He made an astonishing return with the Premier League club in January, scoring once and assisting four goals in 11 league outings less than a year after his on-field cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.
Brentford had offered him a new contract when his deal expired but Eriksen decided to move to United on a three-year deal instead. He’s already got off the mark too, netting on his debut in last week’s 4-1 behind-closed-doors win over Wrexham.
