Christian Eriksen Joins Manchester United On Three Year Deal

Denmark International, Christian Eriksen has joined Manchester United as a free agent on a three year contract.

He will play for the premier league side until June 2025.

The 30-year-old’s transfer to the Red Devils completes an incredible return after his brush with death last year.

Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch in Copenhagen while playing for Denmark at the European Championship and was forced to leave Inter Milan after recovering due to Serie A health regulations.

Eriksen, fitted with a implantable cardioverter defibrillator, proved his form and fitness during a loan spell at Brentford in the second half of last season.

He played 11 times in the Premier League for the Bees, scoring just one goal and providing a total of four assists.

“Manchester United is a special club, and I cannot wait to get started,” Eriksen disclosed this in an interview.

“I have had the privilege of playing at Old Trafford many times but to do it in the red shirt of United will be an amazing feeling.”

Eriksen has experience of working with United manager Erik Ten Hag after training with Ajax as part of his return to football following the cardiac arrest.

Ten Hag, who took charge at United in the close-season after leaving the Dutch champions, is looking to revamp his new team after they finished a disappointing sixth in the Premier League last term.

Christian Eriksen is Manchester United’s second signing after the arrival of Netherlands left-back Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord.
