Christian Eriksen insists that 'everywhere' is interested 'everywhere' prior to his departure from Manchester United as a free agent at the end of June, but he has not yet decided where he will move
Christian Eriksen says he hopes to leave England and the Premier League behind this summer. Eriksen will leave Manchester United as a free agent when his contract ends on 30 June and still has to decide where to move.
The 33-year-old midfielder contributed eight goals and 19 assists in 107 games for United in all competitions since he did a free transfer in July 2022. But he struggled to win Ruben Amorim in the 2024/25 season, starting with only 11 Premier League matches because they ended a low 15th and were not offered a new contract.
After he was apologized from the journey after the season to Malaysia and Hong Kong to marry his partner Sabrina Kvist Jensen, Eriksen is now preparing for an international duty. He will be involved in their friendly matches against Noord -Ireland and Lithuania the following week, before he decides on his future at club level.
Although there is nothing concrete yet, Eriksen wants England to leave after 10 seasons in the Premier League with United, Brentford and Tottenham. The Danish midfielder has also played for Inter Milan and Ajax and wants to find a new experience.
“I would rather get away from the Premier League,” he told Danish TV. “I have the feeling that I am in turn in the Premier League, so I look outside the English borders. It was a great place for me and my family, and we have been there for many years.
“When I moved from Tottenham to Inter, it wasn't my plan to go back to England. After that I have been there again for three and a half years, so you should never say. But my priority is that I have to leave.”
Eriksen was associated with a move to the Danish side Odense, where he spent time as a young person. But he says, although there is a lot of interest, nothing has been decided.
Did you say! Where does Christian Eriksen end up this summer? Respond below.
“It's the rumor mill of football. I hope that nobody has put money on it now because they will lose,” he said. “At the moment there is nothing. There is interest everywhere, but there is nothing I am close to signing.”
He added: “My focus is on playing international competitions and then go on a good summer vacation. Then we will see how long the holiday will be.”
Eriksen leaves United as a free agent alongside Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof. Speaking with TNT Sports after the last game of the season, a 2-0 win over Aston Villa in which he scored a penalty, he said: “It has been a difficult season, but I am going to wish them the best. It is an incredible stadium, an incredible club and I don't doubt that I will be back at some point.”
