Christian Eriksen reveals why he rejected Spurs and Brentford for Manchester United

[mawspurs]

Christian Eriksen has revealed he turned down interest from Tottenham and Brentford because he felt a move to Manchester United offered him ‘redepmtion’ from what he’s experienced in the last 15 months. The Dane signed a three-year deal with United in July, despite heavy interest from other clubs in the Premier League.

Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2021 and his contract at Inter Milan was terminated because Serie A does not allow players to play with a Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD).

It doesn't actually say he rejected us at all, what a load of bollocks by the Metro.

I'm pretty sure from the noise at the time that we didn't even offer him a contract.

'redepmtion' you say

Why he didn't join anyone other than man u....

 

[yiddopaul]

Didn't he say his preference was to stay in London, preferably Tottenham. We decided against it. United and Brentford were his only options.

I heard there were 43 million reasons he went to Manchester United.

Well, we never actually made an offer, he said that much in a previous article himself. IIRC the only offers on the table were from Brentford and United. Not much of a choice really

'redepmtion' you say

To quote John Milton

"better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven"

If he even had the choice, that is.

Best of luck to him, I don’t see where he would play in our current set up.

I don’t think that’s the case. He’s played every single league game for them so far. It was obviously sold to him on the basis of being a key player, something that we probably didn’t offer.

Of course it's about the money - who in their right mind would turn down a place on our bench for a starting position at a plastic club with no history like Manchester United?

Think Trix said at the time that they offered him a huge amount and we wouldn't go near it.

We didn't offer anything.

And they were all blue M&Ms.
