Christian Eriksen

Eriksen, 30, has joined United on a three-year contract. Eriksen is Erik ten Hag's second signing of the summer transfer window after the Dutchman signed ...

Fernandes certainly wasn't at his best last season and Eriksen has the quality to take advantage of him struggling for form. Although Bruno Fernandes has been an almost guaranteed starter during his time at the club, the arrival of Eriksen should ensure that he's now got genuine competition for his place. The 30-year-old averaged more ball recoveries, interceptions and fewer ball losses than Fernandes in the top flight last term.

Meanehile, the move for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong will not be rushed with wage dispute still yet to be resolved.

“I think when he has the right focus and the right motivation and he works hard he will have production because he is a good player. I say when he has the right focus and every day delivers much then he will have production and it’s up to him.” “We have to get a threat on both sides,” he said. Ten Hag wants the threat to come from all areas, though, in time. I still have major ambitions in the game, there is a huge amount that I know I can achieve, and this is the perfect place to continue my journey.” “I said [against Liverpool] our left side was really good and now the right side. United are hoping the situation will be resolved as swiftly as possible but they are prepared to sit tight, even if De Jong has not signed by the time they face Brighton on August 7 in their season opener. Aware of how hit and miss Martial can be, the manager has told him he must learn to channel his focus. “I have seen Erik’s work at Ajax and know the level of detail and preparation that he and his staff put into every day. Atletico Madrid are said to remain an option but Ten Hag has insisted Ronaldo is not for sale. “Manchester United is a special club, and I cannot wait to get started,” Eriksen said. With United - who beat Melbourne Victory 4-1 at the MCG on Friday - due to fly home from Australia a week on Saturday, the club do not believe it will be conducive for either player to travel to the other side of the world for the final days of the tour and will instead have to wait to meet their new team-mates.

Former Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood has advised Christian Eriksen to take up the opportunity of playing Manchester United.In a chat with 88.

“Don’t only buy quality players, Man Utd have done that over the years. I think it’s a no brainer and an absolutely great fit on a free transfer.” I think he will be a major upgrade on what they’ve got in midfield areas.

Christian Eriksen has completed a move to Manchester United on a free transfer as Erik ten Hag continues to improve his squad ahead of the 2022-23 season.

Having spoken with him and learned more about his vision and the way he wants the team to play, I am even more excited for the future. The move comes just over a year after Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020. He is a player that Ten Hag knows well from his time at Ajax, and there a number of other stars with ties to the Eredivisie giants that the Dutch tactician has his eye on. While struggling to tempt a right-back to Old Trafford, Ten Hag has completed the signing of Tyrell Malacia, with the highly-rated 22-year left-back having completed his switch from Feyenoord. He has been handed a three-year contract by the Red Devils, with that deal set to take him through to the summer of 2025. Christian Eriksen has completed a move to Manchester United on a free transfer as Erik ten Hag continues to improve his squad ahead of the 2022-23 season.

Christian Eriksen's arrival at Manchester United could prove to be a bargain but the team's revival depends on much more than the Danish playmaker.

For now, United’s fans can be optimistic that Eriksen is just a small part of an extensive rebuild that is being carried out, but there are still many variables that could undermine his arrival. But while he was tempted to reward the loyalty of Brentford he decided instead to be reunited with Ten Hag, who has now taken over at Old Trafford. His arrival could help at United in several important ways. Alongside him, should a deal be struck, would be Frenkie De Jong. It seems that a transfer is likely to go through and Eriksen, De Jong and De Beek would probably be more rounded and able than Fred, Fernandes and Pogba had been. As a free transfer he allows the club to focus elsewhere. After a difficult season with Inter Milan he was then let go with Serie A regulations precluding his involvement after he was fitted with a pacemaker. He starts the 22/23 season playing for the biggest club of his career after proving many doubters wrong.

A protracted saga followed - not of the player's doing, it must be said - and he did not depart for Inter Milan until six months later.

I think it's going to be a really cool experience being out there. "I think I've always done a pretty good job of just treating every round the same.

For context having watched Eriksen close-up in the mixed zone, he had that aura about him that gifted people often exude. Eriksen was the same. As the song goes ‘when you’re in love with a beautiful woman… The danger was always that a better looking option would come along. It was like a fleeting affair with a partner well out of our league. That and a hefty weekly pay check.

NOT EVERYONE will be happy to see Christian Eriksen arrive at Old Trafford.

The arrival of Ten Hag at United was fantastic news for Donny van de Beek, who returned from his loan spell at Everton delighted to be reunited with his old Ajax boss. All three are currently out in Australia with United, trying to impress Ten Hag in training. The signing of Christian Eriksen provided Manchester United with a timely boost on Friday, but it is not good news for everyone at the club. With Bruno Fernandes also untouchable, his chances of getting a regular starting berth suddenly look slim. Announcing the signing, John Murtough, United’s football director, said: “Christian has been one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe throughout his career. Negotiations with Barcelona for top target Frenkie de Jong have stalled, leaving Tyrell Malacia as the only confirmed arrival before Eriksen’s.

Christian Eriksen has signed for Manchester United and there is now the small matter of how Erik ten Hag gets him in the team.

If Ten Hag’s plan is to switch McTominay out for Eriksen, then the prospect of Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho and Christian Eriksen combining out on that flank is a tantalising one. In that system, Dele Ali pushed up from the number ten position to support Harry Kane, leaving space in front of the opposition defence for Eriksen to roam into. While De Jong, Eriksen and Fernandes together in midfield may look like too attacking a trio, as Ajax demonstrated under Ten Hag, a co-ordinated press with willing workers makes pure destroyer-type midfield players redundant. Eriksen is more than likely to get the majority of his starts playing in the same role that Lasse Schone once occupied for Erik ten Hag, only with higher quality. Throughout his career, the Dane has often played as an attacking midfielder, be it as a number ten or off either wing. Christian Eriksen has signed for Manchester United and there is now the small matter of how Erik ten Hag gets him in the team.

Manchester United have now confirmed the signing of Danish playmaker Christian Eriksen on a free transfer.

Christian Eriksen is the latest arrival at Manchester United as Erik ten Hag looks to shake up his newly acquired squad, and many are wondering what number ...

Eriksen could certainly be tempted to return to his no.24 shirt and continue in the rich vein of form that he left Inter in. And for that very reason, it will be interesting to see what number he takes at the club – though he isn't short of options; Mirror Sport takes a look at five options. Jesse Lingard has left United as a free agent, meaning that his no.14 shirt is up for grabs. 6 would suggest that his defensive work will be put to the test in the coming campaign. Perhaps a more obscure choice for an attacking midfielder, but the no.6 shirt is now available if Eriksen is keen. The Denmark international was announced as the latest arrival at Old Trafford earlier this week after finally deciding where he wanted his future to lie.
