This season is expected to be the last time Christian Eriksen plays in a Manchester United uniform.

Spain's "Pichahes" reported on the 19th (Korea Standard Time) that "Eriksen will be the first released player for Manchester United at the end of this season. Joining the team in 2022, he will end his career as a player for Manchester United while no longer playing under Erik ten Hag."

Eriksen joined Manchester United ahead of the 2022-23 season. He performed well in all competitions in his first season with two goals and 10 assists, contributing greatly to Manchester United's victory in the English Football League (EFL Cup) and third place in the Premier League. Eriksen's sharp kick and chance making, which are his greatest strengths, were competitive enough.

However, the team reversed its position in a year. Eriksen was forced to the bench after suffering a sudden decline in form last season. As he got older, his mobility declined, and as he made more mistakes, coach Ten Haq turned a blind eye to him. Last season, he started games mostly on the bench rather than starting players. This season is not much different. Eriksen's role is as backup Bruno Fernandes. He lacks mobility and defense to play as a third-line midfielder. However, Fernandes is too good to lead off Fernandes and become a starting attacking midfielder.

Eriksen recently started against Barnsley in the third round of the EFL Cup. As his opponent was in the third division, coach Ten Hag gave rest to most of his key players including Fernandez, Joshua Zirkji, and Matheis the Licht, and Eriksen replaced Fernandez as a starting attacking midfielder. He showed good performance by scoring two goals and one assist.

Eriksen is still a good player as a backup, but his contract expires at the end of this season. It is unlikely that Manchester United will catch a player who was born in 1992 who is in his mid-30s when his contract expires. "Eriksen's experience can help Manchester United play an important game. However, Manchester United has a long-term outlook on young players who are playing for their positions," the media said, predicting that Eriksen will leave the team.

According to the British 'Team Talk', Eriksen said, "It's better to be in Manchester United. If they leave, they will leave, but I haven't heard that yet. I have a year left, so I will focus on this year and do my best. I will see what happens afterwards."
