Christian Eriksen future latest: Man Utd step up interest as doubts remain over top Ten Hag target

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is stepping up his interest in Christian Eriksen just in case a deal for Frenkie de Jong fails to materialise this summer.

However the rumours have moved up a notch now Ten Hag is on board. A report in the Daily Mail claims that the new United boss is a big fan of the Danish playmaker.

It stems from when Eriksen trained with Ajax before his move to Brentford. The midfielder was building up his fitness again after suffering a cardiac arrest while playing at Euro 2020.

Ten Hag is said to have been very impressed with his attitude and determination to play again. Since then Ten Hag has kept a close eye on his return to playing with the Bees.
