Christian Eriksen has revealed he spoke to every Manchester United manager since Sir Alex Ferguson about joining the club before signing for Erik ten Hag.
The Dane, who arrived as a free transfer last month, made his full debut in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano in United’s sixth and final pre-season match.
Ferguson retired in May 2013 and Eriksen said he had discussed a potential transfer with David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, José Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjær while at Tottenham, before he departed in January 2020 for Internazionale. “At Spurs I’ve spoken to every manager who’s been here at Man United to see what the situation was,” the 30-year-old said. “But I was at Spurs at the time and I really couldn’t see myself playing in another English team at that time.
I went abroad and went to Inter. “It’s been on the books, well, not on the books but it’s been spoken about. For me, it wasn’t the [right] timing.
