Christian Eriksen To Decide Whether To Join Manchester United Or Remain At Brentford Next Season

Christian Erikson will make a decision of whether to remain at Brentford next season or join Erik ten Hag's Manchester United on a free transfer.

Following a period out of football, after suffering a cardiac arrest on the pitch for his country Denmark at Euro 2020, Eriksen made his return by signing for Thomas Frank's Brentford in January.

He played 11 matches for the Bees and provided quality in the middle of the pitch whenever he was on the pitch.

The report from Sky adds that with both club's having offered him deals, United's is more financially lucrative than Brentford's.

It also says that the prospect of working with Ten Hag again is an attraction to the Denmark international.

Eriksen trained with the Dutchman's Ajax side to build fitness before his return to football in England at the start of the year.

However, other aspects could impact a possible move to Manchester.

Sources close to Eriksen say that he and his family are comfortable in London and have reservations about moving up north.

Also, with the World Cup around the corner, Eriksen wants to start every game at his club to be sure of a place in Denmark's team in the winter.

This could be more difficult at United, who have Bruno Fernandes and Donny van de Beek as competition for the player.

Brentford will feel in a strong position regarding the transfer, according to Sky, as the player is settled in the area, has strong relationships at the club and does not have money as a priority. However, with the player and his agent keeping their cards close to their chest, the decision that he makes is still something that is an unknown.

United could use with the extra legs in midfield following departures of Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata.
