Christian Eriksen’s ‘incomprehensible’ choices questioned after Wrexham snub - with ex-Tottenham & Man Utd star still a free agent

Eriksen’s Manchester United contract expired in the summer, and he has yet to secure a new club. Wrexham and Burnley were linked, but he chose to train with Malmo as he remains a free agent. His future remains unclear as the season progresses, and former Real Madrid and Denmark star Gravesen has revealed his frustration at Eriksen's choices this summer.

Speaking to Danish outlet Fotboll Skanalen, Gravesen said: "It is incomprehensible to me that he chooses Malmo. It is not a club that he can go to because he cannot sign a contract with them and we have some clubs in Denmark that are much, much better than Malmo.

"This looks like a friendly thing, where Christian Eriksen is over and having fun with some friends. Where is the ambition to play football?

"We talk about him being without a club for three months, but he has been without a club since January because he has been able to sign a contract with a new club ever since. He has been dragging his feet on it for a long time.

"If he wants to play for the national team, what signal does this send? What signal does going up and having fun with friends in Malmo send?

"I don't understand it. It seems frivolous in some ways. If he had ambitions, he would have gone to a higher-level club.

"For me, it is not ambitious enough to go to Malmo and have fun. Who sees him there?"

Eriksen has enjoyed an illustrious career with Tottenham Hotspur, Inter and Manchester United, but doubts are now growing about his hunger to continue at the top. Training with Malmo has disappointed Danish fans who expected him to join a more competitive club and secure his spot in the Danish side ahead of the World Cup in 2026. As such, his international future could be at risk if the situation drags on.

As a free agent, Eriksen can still sign outside the window. His next move will decide whether he extends his career at a high level or fades away. Whether he chooses to return to Denmark, explore opportunities elsewhere in Europe, or consider an unexpected move like Wrexham, remains to be seen. His next step will likely determine if he can continue competing at the international level or fade into the background.
