Manchester United are reportedly prepared to cash in on Christian Eriksen during the summer transfer window.
Having impressed on his appearances for Brentford after recovering from a cardiac arrest in 2021, Eriksen became one of Erik ten Hag's first additions at Old Trafford.
Since his arrival in July 2022, a total of 48 starts and 17 substitute outings have been made in all competitions, with the Denmark international proving to be a shrewd piece of business.
However, while three goals and 12 assists have been contributed during that period, Eriksen has gradually fallen down the pecking order.
While a knee injury during the back end of 2023 did not help his cause, the 32-year-old has remained as an unused substitute during six of United's last seven fixtures in the Premier League.
On a plus note, Eriksen played his part in United's roaring comeback to beat Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday, being introduced when his side were 2-1 down before they eventually prevailed by a 4-3 scoreline.
Nevertheless, the former Tottenham Hotspur star is effectively viewed as fourth choice in the midfield pecking order behind Kobbie Mainoo, Casemiro and Scott McTominay.
Should Mason Mount remain fit, Eriksen's already-limited game time may come under greater threat and it appears that an exit from the Theatre of Dreams remains a possibility.
According to FootballTransfers, United are not against parting ways with Eriksen if they receive a suitable offer.
The report suggests that it would take "an acceptable and satisfactory offer" for a sale to be contemplated, with United in a position where they could benefit from reducing their outgoings.
New minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is keen to stamp his own mark on the first-team squad in the summer and selling Eriksen would free up funds to strengthen in other positions.
Ten Hag has allegedly already spoken to Eriksen about a potential exit, even though the playmaker evidently still remains part of this season's plans.
Eriksen's contract is due to expire in 2025, United realistically unlikely to look to extend those terms given the aforementioned other options at Ten Hag's disposal and the need to lower the wage bill. body check tags ::
