# Manchester United: Fabrizio Romano shares Christian Eriksen ‘discussions’

**[Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-transfer-rumours/) chiefs met with the agent of Christian Eriksen in recent days, according to [Fabrizio Romano](https://www.givemesport.com/88022983-man-utd-romano-reveals-contract-talks-with-world-class-star-at-old-trafford).**

### The Lowdown: Eriksen a free agent

Eriksen is set to become a free agent at the end of the month when his Brentford contract expires. He has impressed back in England with the Bees, contributing to [five goals in 11 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/leistungsdaten/spieler/69633) as a central midfielder.

The 30-year-old normally plays in an [attacking](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/69633) role, though, and was hailed as ‘[out of this world](https://metro.co.uk/2022/05/26/man-utd-legend-gary-neville-tells-liverpool-to-sign-christian-eriksen-16712452/)‘ by Gary Neville for his passing.

[David Ornstein](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/manchester-united-david-ornstein-christian-eriksen-transfer-offer/) stated recently that United have made Eriksen an offer, and Romano has shared what he knows in regards to a possible Old Trafford move.

### The Latest: Romano’s comments

Talking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88022983-man-utd-romano-reveals-contract-talks-with-world-class-star-at-old-trafford), Romano shared details of ‘a direct discussion’ with Eriksen’s agent, believing that a move is a ‘possibility’.

However, the transfer expert then name-checked both Brentford and Tottenham as competitors when it comes to Eriksen’s services.

> “With Christian Eriksen, they had a conversation, a direct discussion with his agent Martin Schoots a few days ago, they discussed about a potential contract, so it’s a possibility, but Tottenham and Brentford are also pushing for him to go next season.”

### The Verdict: Fingers crossed

United will have just [one](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manchester-united/kader/verein/985) senior attacking midfielder on the books in Bruno Fernandes from July, with Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata set to leave.

Therefore, bringing in Eriksen on a free transfer appears to be a no brainer. The Denmark international could even play [anywhere](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/69633) in attack for Erik ten Hag if required and would bring bundles of Premier League [experience](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/69633).

A cut-price move for Eriksen may also mean that United can put more money into a deal for primary target Frenkie de Jong, so hopefully, the club can get this one over the line.
