Manchester United signed Denmark playmaker Christian
Eriksen to a three-year contract on Friday.
The 30-year-old Eriksen played for Brentford in the
second half of last season, joining the London club almost eight months after
collapsing from cardiac arrest at the European Championship.
The former Tottenham player is United´s second major
signing under manager Erik ten Hag following the arrival of left back Tyrell
Malacia from Dutch club Feyenoord.
“Manchester United is a special club, and I
cannot wait to get started,” said Eriksen, who has also played for Inter
Milan.Eriksen said he has spoken with Ten Hag “and
learned more about his vision and the way he wants the team to play, I am even
more excited for the future.”
Eriksen´s contract with Inter Milan was terminated
by mutual agreement last December since Italian regulations prevented him from
playing with the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator that was fitted.
United football director John Murtough said that in
addition to technical skills, Eriksen “will add valuable experience and
leadership skills to the squad.”
