He came a long way in the meantime, recovered fully, returned to professional football with Brentford – and today, he signed for one of the best-supported clubs in the world! The 30-year-old has just signed a deal to become a Manchester United player on a three-year contract.##NAJAVA_MECA_6507475##The Old Trafford club announced the news on Friday afternoon, reuniting two former Ajax men – Eriksen, the player and Erik Ten Hag, the manager.”Manchester United is a special club, and I cannot wait to get started. 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. 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. It is clear that he is a fantastic coach.”It’s clear that Eriksen is excited about the prospect of playing under such a modern and forward-thinking coach.

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.”OFFICIAL: @ChrisEriksen8 ➡️ @ManUtd 🇩🇰 pic.twitter.com/1d7l2gUlNw— 433 (@433) July 15, 2022 Eriksen has been capped 115 times for Denmark, scoring 38 goals for his country.
