According to The Athletic, Christian Eriksen has verbally agreed to join Manchester United.
Eriksen has informed United that he wishes to join the Old Trafford team and is willing to accept their offer of a three-year contract.
The 30-year-old playmaker would have to complete his medicals before the contracts, which are currently being drafted, could be finalized.
Although this is typical for all recruits and there won’t be any issues there, Eriksen’s past makes it a particularly difficult obstacle to overcome.
At Euro 2020, the Danish international suffered a heart attack and passed out on the field.
He had an implanted cardioverter-defibrillator installed, which prevented him from continuing his career with his previous club, Inter Milan, due to Serie A regulations.
Before he joined Brentford, the Italian team agreed to end his contract. He joined the team in the second part of the previous campaign and appeared in the Premier League 11 times, scoring once.
Eriksen formerly played for Tottenham Hotspur from 2013 to 2020. He participated in 226 Premier League games and contributed 51 goals to the north London team. Eriksen also began his senior career at Ajax.
