The Denmark international linked up with the Red Devils as a free agent in 2022, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/stupid-moment-man-utd-christian-eriksen-cardiac-arrest-not-changed-who-he-is-what-does/blt5927c89a6b5c571a" target="_blank">serious health concerns being put behind him</a>. The classy midfielder penned a three-year contract at Old Trafford, which has a little under 12 months left to run.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Eriksen was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-prepared-to-sell-unhappy-star-after-private-talks-with-erik-ten-hag/bltc40785be6bfb296c" target="_blank">restricted to 28 appearances last season, and only 12 Premier League starts</a>, but he has said of his immediate plans as speculation regarding a return Amsterdam rages: “I have one year left so for me I am a United player. I haven't been told leave or extension, so in that sense I have one year left on the contract and I feel good, my family is feeling good living in Manchester and United is a nice club. In terms of the football you want to play as much as possible. But also you think in terms of: 'How do I see myself? How do I fit into the team?' And in those terms I feel good. I feel that I am in a good place.”

WHAT ERIKSEN SAID

United are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/rasmus-hojlund-lenny-yoro-injury-gabriel-jesus-winners-and-losers-manchester-united-arsenal/blt1b4eafed6c494ca5" target="_blank">currently on tour in the United States</a>, with Eriksen enjoying this trip more than one from 2023 – when Erik ten Hag’s side trained in New Jersey and San Diego and flew out to games in Houston and Las Vegas. With the Red Devils now based in Los Angeles, Eriksen added: “There were a lot of flights in between, there were a lot of short trips for one or two days in this city and then the next one. It did feel like a lot of stuff was going on in a very short period. This is also going to be a lot of stuff, but it does feel different already. If we speak next year or in two weeks' time maybe I can say it was better or worse, but it's feeling better.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

United, who suffered a 2-1 <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-planning-2-billion-build-new-100-000-seater-stadium-instead-redeveloping-old-trafford-inspiration-sofi-stadium-nfl-los-angeles/blte0ec7de50f1defdb" target="_blank">defeat to Arsenal at SoFi Stadium</a>, have friendly dates with Real Betis and Liverpool to come before returning to England for the traditional Community Shield curtain-raiser against arch-rivals Manchester City on August 10.
