Eriksen proved he could still cut it at the top level while playing for the Bees last term, despite the career setback following a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 playing for Denmark AND his release from Inter Milan.

Football Insider says to ward off interest from their rivals, United are paying Eriksen £200,000-a-week plus a £12million signing-on fee.

Across the span of his three-year contract, United will have paid the 30-year-old an eye-watering £43m.
