Christian Eriksen has confirmed he is expecting to leave Manchester United at the end of the season, with his contract at Old Trafford now in its final months.
Eriksen joined United as a free agent in the summer of 2022, having spent the first half of that year making a remarkable professional comeback with Brentford following a near fatal cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.
The Denmark legend was initially a key player but has occupied more of a fringe role over the last 18 months, primarily due to a combination of injuries and age as he hits the tail-end of his career.
As free agency looms, Eriksen has spoken to Danish publication Tipsbladet about what comes next.
“My intention isn’t to stay in England. This situation is different from when I was a free agent after my cardiac arrest.

Back then, it was about proving I could still play. Now, it’s just about waiting for the right opportunity and not making hasty decisions. If something feels right, I’ll take it.
Careers don’t always follow a set plan. I don’t have a checklist of things I need to do, I will see what comes and what’s best for me and my family.”
A possible return to Ajax, the club where Eriksen first rose to prominence as a teenager, hasn’t been ruled out and he is keeping his options as open as possible, within a few key parameters.
