Christian Eriksen has revealed he spoke to every Manchester United manager since Sir Alex Ferguson about joining the club before signing for Erik ten Hag.

The Dane, who arrived as a free transfer last month, made his full debut in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano in United’s sixth and final pre-season match. Ferguson retired in May 2013 and Eriksen said he had discussed a potential transfer with David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, José Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjær while at Tottenham, before he departed in January 2020 for Internazionale.
