Wrexham 'interested' in signing £150,000-a-week Man United star this summer with manager Phil Parkinson urging the club to get a deal done
Wrexham are reportedly interested in signing a Manchester United player, and it would be a huge statement by the Welsh club.
Wrexham will play the 2025/26 Championship having secured their third consecutive promotion, this time from League One in April.
The club has already announced their retained list with eight players leaving, including former Premier League forward Steven Fletcher.
Wrexham have since been linked with several experienced Premier League players, including West Ham left-back Aaron Cresswell, Spurs defender Ben Davies and Fulham midfielder and captain Tom Cairney.

But they could soon be set to welcome an even bigger star to the Racecourse.
According to Tim on the Fearless in Devotion podcast: “Parky [Phil Parkinson] is interested in signing Christian Eriksen.
“Now again, sort of the pre-fit for what we have is of a certain age of a certain experience. And he is of a certain age, and he comes with bags of experience.
“So, we’re in a weird position where it’s almost impossible to chuck any of these ideas out and dismiss them as complete lunacy because it’s Wrexham, isn’t it? Anything is possible. I don’t see it because I think there’s only so many players you can afford where the wages are going to be obscene.”
Eriksen, 33, is set to see his current Man United contract expire on June 30 and will become a free agent.
According to Capology, the Denmark international earns £150,000-a-week, or £7,800,000-a-year.
As reported by Wales Online, Jay Rodriguez was the club’s highest-earning player during the 2024/25 campaign on around £15,000 per week.
Based on this, Eriksen will likely have to take a significant pay cut.
Christian Eriksen on next club
The Dane recently gave his stance on where he could be playing football next season.
"I would rather get away from the Premier League," Eriksen told Danish station TV 2. "I feel I have had my turn in the Premier League, so I am looking outside the English borders.
"It’s been a great place for me and my family, and we’ve been there for many years.
"When I moved from Tottenham to Inter, it wasn’t the plan for me to go back to England. I’ve been there for three and a half years again since then, so you can never say never, but the priority is for me to leave."
He added: "There is interest all around, but there is nothing that I am close to signing.
"My focus will be to play international matches and then have a good summer holiday. Then we will see how long the holiday will be."
