Eriksen: I Could’ve Joined Manchester United Before Now

Eriksen one of Manchester United new signings reveals that he could have been a United player on 3 occasions before now. The Danish Midfielder signed a three-year contract at Old Trafford this summer and made his first start for Erik ten Hag’s side in a 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano in a preseason friendly on Sunday.
The Midfielder said: “I’ve spoken to every manager who’s been here at Man United to see what the situation was.”But I was at Spurs at the time and I really couldn’t see myself playing in another English team at that time. I went abroad and went to Inter.
“It’s been on the books, well, not on the books but it’s been spoken about. For me, it wasn’t the [right] timing, it wasn’t there and I was at a place at Spurs for a long time and I wanted to try something abroad and I went to Inter and ended up having a lovely time.

Eriksen: “It was only talks”

“But then obviously something happened in the summer and that changed a bit the career path I had in mind. And then obviously to come back to Brentford first of all and then to be here is something. I didn’t think could happen a year ago. “It was only talk. “They never really came with anything so it wasn’t really a thing for me to go back to Tottenham. And at the time and Man United were very early on, very positive and I had good conversations. “It was very positive from the first few phone calls already. And the club felt like they wanted me, so it was on for a long time.”
However, approaching a new season Christian claims he he fit and ready to go into the new season. “I feel good,” he said. “I’m always most pleased when preseason has finished. And the season starts and then you know your condition is where you hope it should be.
“It’s been good, I’ve been taken good care of by the group and I’ve been getting my minutes in. And I’m really trying to slot in as quickly as possible to the first-team.”
