Christian Eriksen, a former Inter Milan midfielder, is said to have decided against joining Manchester United this summer.
Eriksen’s career took a turn for the better after a stellar season with Brentford in 2012/13, and he is now linked with a move to Manchester United.
The Dane is set to reject a move to Manchester United in order to stay in London, potentially paving the way for a sensational return to Tottenham Hotspur.
Eriksen is a top target for new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, who is looking to bolster his midfield options this summer.
Earlier this month, Man United confirmed the departure of 11 first-team players, including midfielders Paul Pogba, Juan Mata and Nemanja Matic.
The Red Devils are in talks with Barcelona over a deal for their midfielder Frenkie de Jong, but given the number of players who have left Old Trafford this month, Ten Hag could bring two midfielders to the theatre of dreams.
It was reported a few days ago that Man United had made a contract offer to Eriksen, whose deal with Brentford expires on June 30.
According to The Athletic, it appears that Man United will miss out on a deal for Eriksen as THE 30-year-old wants to stay in London.
That would make Eriksen’s current club Brentford and former side Tottenham the favourites to secure his services on a permanent deal this summer ahead of next season.
