The 30-year-old footballer spent the second part of last season playing for Brentford, where he logged one goal over 11 games. He played a key role in Brentford finishing 13th on the Premier League table but turned down the opportunity to stay with the club.

Eriksen previously played for Inter Milan in Italian Serie A but the team terminated his contract in December 2021 following an incident in which he went into cardiac arrest during a European Championship match played for his native Denmark.

United has been busy over the last week, also signing 22-year-old left-back Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord. Malacia has reportedly already finished his physical exam, but the club is waiting to announce the two new signings simultaneously.

Tyrell Malacia has now successfully completed second part of medical tests and signed his contract as new Man United player. ✅ #MUFC
