The Danish Christian Eriksen gives his agreement to Manchester United (press)

Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen gave his verbal agreement to sign for Manchester United, a club with which he would soon commit for three years, several English media indicated on Monday.

The 30-year-old, who returned to football with Brentford at the end of February, eight months after his cardiac arrest in the middle of a Euro 2021 match, must still undergo a medical visit before making a formal commitment.

The Dane has lived with a defibrillator since that accident on June 12, 2021 against Finland in the European Championship and had to leave Inter Milan, where he had a contract, since Italian regulations prohibit footballers from playing in Serie A with this type of device. apparatus.

Due to this, he signed for the London club, which has an important Danish legion in its technical team and in its squad. With the Bees, he played eleven games and scored one goal, showing that he had lost nothing of his talent and his vision of the game with four assists.

It seems that Eriksen has ended up giving in to the interest that the Red Devils have shown in him for weeks.

Although Tottenham was also behind, where he played between 2013 and 2020, he could finally go with Erik Ten Hag, former coach of Ajax Amsterdam, the club in which the Dane played, before going to the Premier League.

For Manchester United, it would be a good signing and above all the first of a summer market so far dominated by marches, especially that of Paul Pogba, who ended his contract, and the possible one of Cristiano Ronaldo, absent on Monday at the resumption of training, for “family reasons”, according to the press.

The Portuguese would look for an exit door, little motivated by the idea of ​​playing the Europa League instead of the Champions League and not aspiring to the Premier League title.

Just sixth in the Championship last season, Manchester United must fully rebuild under Ten Hag.
