Christian Eriksen has reportedly stated his preference for next season’s team, despite reports that he has been offered a lucrative contract by Manchester United.
According to reports, the former Inter Milan midfielder has decided to rule out joining Manchester United this summer.
Eriksen’s career took a turn for the better after a stellar season with Brentford in 2012/13, and he is now linked with a move to Manchester United.
The Dane is set to reject a move to Manchester United in order to stay in London, potentially paving the way for a sensational return to Tottenham Hotspur.
Eriksen is a top target for new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, who is looking to bolster his midfield options this summer.
Man United announced the departure of 11 first-team players earlier this month, including midfielders Paul Pogba, Juan Mata, and Nemanja Matic.
The Red Devils are in talks with Barcelona about a deal for midfielder Frenkie de Jong, but with so many players leaving Old Trafford this month, Ten Hag could bring two midfielders to the Nou Camp.
Eriksen’s contract with Brentford expires on June 30th, and it was reported a few days ago that Man United had made him a contract offer.
According to The Athletic, Man United will not be able to sign Eriksen because the 30-year-old wants to stay in London.
Eriksen’s current club Brentford and former club Tottenham would be the frontrunners to sign him on a permanent deal this summer ahead of next season.
