Christian Eriksen to depart Manchester United as contract expires by summer

Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen will be leaving Manchester United at the conclusion of the current season.

With his contract not being extended, Eriksen is set to become a free agent this summer, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Eriksen, who joined Manchester United on a free transfer in the summer of 2022 after a brief stint with Brentford, has been a notable presence in the team’s midfield.

However, he has struggled for regular minutes this season, making only 13 appearances, zero goals.

The 33-year-old has had a mixed spell at United, starting strongly but gradually seeing his playing time reduced with the emergence of younger talents.

After being unwell in the week, Eriksen was not available for Sunday’s 1-0 defeat at former club Spurs.

Speaking after the match, Amorim said of the situation: “I think Leny (Yoro) and Chris, they were sick. So they will recover.

“Of course Chris has the heart situation and we have to be really careful with that.

Recall the Denmark international suffered a cardiac arrest while playing at Euro 2020, but he subsequently made an amazing return to action after having an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) fitted.
