Christian Eriksen has reportedly informed his friends of a key decision surrounding his Manchester United future.
The 32-year-old is currently away on international duty with Denmark, who are looking to better their run to the semi-finals at Euro 2020 this time around at Euro 2024.
Denmark enjoyed a perfect start to their Group C opener on Sunday afternoon when Eriksen found the back of the net, however a late strike from Slovenia's Erik Janza forced a share of the spoils.
The Man United man's goal at Stuttgart Arena was an especially-emotional moment, coming exactly 1,100 days after he collapsed in Denmark's first match of Euro 2020 against Finland in Copenhagen.
Eriksen is set to lead by example once again in his side's next group clash on Thursday afternoon, when Denmark will pit their wits against Gareth Southgate's England.
Man United set to lose Eriksen?
While the current focus for Eriksen is on international football, Football Insider is claiming that the Dane has already made up his mind surrounding his future at Man United.
The report states that the 32-year-old wants to quit the Old Trafford outfit this summer, bringing his two-year spell at the club to an abrupt end.
It is understood that teams from both Saudi Arabia and Turkey are keen on Eriksen, who would not be short of suitors ahead of the 2024-25 term.
With one year left on his current terms on the red side of Manchester, the Red Devils are said to be willing to part ways with the former Tottenham Hotspur man this off-season.
As only 12 months are remaining on his agreement, it is believed that it would not take a seismic offer from a potential purchaser to make Man United accept.
Competition in the engine room
Injury aside, Bruno Fernandes is a certain starter in the advanced-midfield role for Man United, meaning that Eriksen cannot play in the position that many perceive as his best.
Combined with the emergence of academy graduate and England international Kobbie Mainoo, the Danish legend is set to struggle for regular starts in a full-strength XI for Erik ten Hag next season.
With news emerging that Eriksen could be on the way out this summer, there have been suggestions that the Red Devils are looking to make a major signing for their engine room.
Set to go toe-to-toe with German giants Bayern Munich in a transfer battle, it has been reported that Man United are planning an ambitious move for Fulham enforcer Joao Palhinha. body check tags ::
