Christian Eriksen is preparing to leave Manchester United this summer and reveals that he has not heard from the club that they want him to stay.
The 33-year-old Denmark International was out of the contract in Old Trafford in June and after silence of the club about their plans for the future that he is preparing for a new challenge abroad.
'I have heard nothing from the club and that is why I assume the collaboration will stop. That is how I interpret it, “he said on Tuesday while he was away from international duty.
'My contract is going this summer and I am willing to find something new. I think that's fine. I have not yet decided where it will be.
'I didn't try not to have a contract, except after the cardiac arrest, but that was a bit of a different situation.
'I wait and see which offers come in. I am not going to make hasty decisions, but if the right thing comes, I will assume. But I don't know what the right thing is. '
Eriksen spent a season in Italy with Inter Milan before returning to England in 2022 to play for Brentford. In the same year he joined Manchester United One a three -year -old deal.
He has made 27 performances this season, much of the bank, but has shown in recent weeks that he can play a role in a system that relates to his lack of pace, in particular following the transition.
But having said that, going back to Denmark or a switch to Major League Soccer in the United States are both of the table, just like a stay in England.
“The intention is not to stay in England,” he added. 'I'm not going to the US, we're not going that far. We would like to stay in Europe, but it is too early to go home to Denmark. '
Eriksen is determined to play in the World Cup 2026 next year and so his next move away from Manchester United will be crucial to keep him sharp for what his last major international tournament will be.
“I feel that I have a few good years abroad,” Eriksen, who previously played in the Serie A with Inter Milan and in the Eredivisie with Ajax, added.
'If you go back to Denmark, I have the feeling that it is really about family and finishing your career, and that is fair enough, but I am not there yet.
'My ambition is still to play for the national team, and that is why I don't feel it's time to go home.
'That consideration has nothing to do with the attention to me, it is about where my football career is. I have lived abroad longer than in Denmark, so moving to Denmark will almost be like moving to a new country. '
