After suffering a cardiac arrest on the field, one might have thought that Christian Eriksen's career was destined to end soon, especially after signing with Brentford last season. However, the Dane has just been announced as the new signing for Manchester United.
The Red Devils welcomed the 30-year-old midfielder through their social media channels, as the Danish player will seek to win his first Premier League title in his entire career and will fight to secure Manchester United's long-awaited qualification for the UEFA Champions League next year.
As it is known, the World Cup player arrived as a free agent after finishing his contract with Brentford and has signed with 'The Red Devils' until June 2025, which means for three complete seasons.
Let's remember that Christian Eriksen spent seven seasons at Tottenham but never managed to win the Premier League title. After that, he spent two years at Inter Milan, where he stood out and won the Serie A. However, now that he is returning to a major club in England, he will seek to win the league title for the first time.
On the other hand, Manchester United is still waiting to find out if Cristiano Ronaldo will continue with them. 'The Beast' wants to play in the Champions League this season, and it was said that he would join Chelsea, but this option was ruled out by Thomas Tuchel himself, and the Portuguese player still has nothing concrete.
Season Statistics of Christian Eriksen
Last season, the Danish player had a discreet performance, playing a total of 10 matches for Brentford and scoring one goal. Additionally, Eriksen's team finished in the thirteenth position in the league table.
