Manchester United has entered the race to transfer Christian Eriksen.

The Danish representative is a free agent after his short-term contract with Brentford expired.

And, foreign media report that the new United coach, Erik ten Hag has made the midfielder a priority to transfer him to “Old Trafford” as he considers that the former Tottenham and Inter footballer would be a fantastic duo in midfield together with Frenkie de Jong of Barcelona, ??another target of the Red Devils.

Talks with the Danish representatives have started, while Newcastle United and his former club, Tottenham Hotspur, have also shown interest in him.

The 30-year-old shone in the Brentford shirt after returning to football after suffering a heart attack at Euro 2020 last summer.

His club so far has offered him a new long-term contract, but the creative midfielder is determined to play at a bigger club.

United need to strengthen in midfield after the departure of players like Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Juan Mata.
