United Kingdom Football Insider reports that Manchester United have told 32-year-old Denmark midfielder Eriksen to find a new club by August 30, otherwise he will have to bench under Ten Hag this season. Eriksen has only one year left on his contract and is no longer in the team's future plans.
Eriksen's departure from Manchester United is only a matter of time, with the club willing to let him leave at a low price in order to save £150,000 a week in wages, with the Turkish Super League and the Saudi Arabia Pro League keeping an eye on the Denmark captain. In the past six months, Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and other teams have been linked with Eshen, and the old club Ajax is also among them, but there has been no substantial development.
Eriksen joined Manchester United for free two years ago, so any transfer fee is considered pure gain, with the club offering him a price tag of €5 million. Manchester United have sold Mason · Greenwood, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Willy · Cambuwala, Alvaro · Fernandes and Donny van de Beek for a total of £51.3 million so far.
Last season, he made 28 appearances, just 14 of which were starts. In this season's Community Shield, Eriksen was off the bench and didn't get a minute of playing time. Ten Hag even put 20-year-old midfielder Toby · Collier on the pitch and did not let Eriksen play, Collier, the new favorite of the Red Devils manager, and the English media said the club thought he would grow quickly, like Kobe · Meno last season.
British media have revealed that Collier and another youth team talent, Harry · Amas, have confirmed that they will stay at Old Trafford this season, they will not be loaned, and can play for Manchester United's under-21 youth team and the first team at the same time in the new season. Collier turns 21 in five months and has reached a level of fitness that can adapt to the rigors of the Premier League. The former Brighton midfielder's aggressive, confrontational, defensive awareness and tactical acumen have attracted Ten Hag.
Ten Hag wants to strengthen his squad at the back, with PSG's 23-year-old Uruguay · Ugarte being his top target. However, Sir Jim · Ratcliffe's INEOS team will need to sell at least one player before the deal can be completed.
Sky Sports report that Manchester United are expected to receive a formal offer for Eriksen in the final minute of the summer window, with potential buyers reportedly reaching out to discuss the details. Eriksen's departure will free up additional wages and make room in the squad, while bringing in a small transfer fee and potentially facilitating the transfer of new signings.
Towards the end of his career, Eriksen also didn't want to stay on the water cooler at Manchester United, making it clear on several occasions that he wanted to play more. 'My family and I are happy at Manchester United, but like I said, as a footballer you want to play as much as you can. Erikson said.
There are also rumours that former Paris Saint-Germain defender Verratti, a 31-year-old midfielder from Italy, has recommended himself to Manchester United. Verratti moved to Qatar side Al Arabi from Paris for £40 million last summer and currently has just one year left on his contract. The intermediary has reached out to a number of teams, including Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City, to lobby them to sign Verratti, but his €30 million annual salary is a huge obstacle.
In the final half of the summer window, Manchester United's midfield changes, including who will join Ugarte, Berg or Amrabat, and who will eventually leave Eriksen, McTominay, Hannibal · Mejbri and others, will be the most concerned topics for fans.
