Manchester United Fans React to Christian Eriksen’s Transfer News Whilst Hoping He’ll Help Bruno Fernandes

• Manchester United fans have seemingly welcomed the reports that the club has verbally agreed to sign Christian Eriksen on a free transfer
• The former Tottenham Hotspur man is seen as the key to providing proper competition to fan favourite Bruno Fernandes and keeping him on his toes
• Doubts remain over the usage of Donny Van de Beek in Erik ten Hag's squad, with some arguing that the club needs a defensive midfielder

Manchester United fans have reacted strongly to the news that Christian Eriksen could be on his way to Old Trafford this summer.

Eriksen is a free agent after the lapse of his short-term contract at Brentford. Reports have indicated that he has verbally agreed to a three-year contract.

The Danish international has made an inspiring return to football after suffering a terrifying cardiac arrest during the Euro 2020 Championships.

He provided four assists and scored one goal during his time at Brentford, thus underlining his capability to still influence games.

His potential signing, however, has elicited mixed reactions from the Red Devils fanbase. Eriksen's natural position is the number 10 role, which is currently occupied by Bruno Fernandes.

Fernandes might have struggled a little bit towards the end of last season, but he has proved to be a wonderful signing for United. A Twitter user, @iamOkon reckoned that Eriksen will provide competition to the Portuguese star.

Christian Eriksen is a decent signing for Man United. Loads of PL experience, a good option when Bruno Fernandes is off form; he showed last season he’s still got the ability to perform at the highest level and is a free transfer.

Bruno Fernandes will have a Ballon d'Or worthy season with Christian Eriksen pushing him.

It remains to be seen how Ten Hag will keep both players happy should the deal materialise, but a majority of the fans are happy that the Dane has agreed to join their club.

Questions will also linger about Donny Van de Beek's role in the United's squad, given that he plays more or less in a similar position to Fernandes and Eriksen. And with the club still pursuing Frenkie De Jong, Van de Beek's future at Manchester United remains dim.
