A La Liga side reportedly made an approach to sign Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen on the final day of the summer transfer window.

Real Betis reportedly made an approach to sign Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen on transfer deadline day.

Eriksen has just started his third season at Old Trafford after he joined the club on a free transfer in the summer of 2022.

While Eriksen is still a part of Erik ten Hag's squad, there was a belief that he would be moved on before the English transfer window slammed shut on August 30.

The Denmark international has entered the final 12 months of his contract and is now on the fringes of the Man United squad.

The 32-year-old appears to be behind Kobbie Mainoo, Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte and seemingly academy product Toby Collyer, who was introduced before the Dane in Sunday's defeat to Liverpool.

Man United received deadline day approach for Eriksen

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Spanish side Betis made an attempt to offer Eriksen a way out of Man United on transfer deadline day.

The proposed move ultimately proved impossible because Betis failed to reach an agreement with Man United and Eriksen.

Furthermore, Ajax did not submit a formal proposal despite being linked with a move for their former player.

While transfer windows are open in countries such as Belgium and Turkey, Eriksen now looks set to remain at Old Trafford until the new year.

What next for Eriksen?

Eriksen will either leave Man United in the January transfer window or when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Before then, he may find game time hard to come by in the top flight after playing just four minutes of Manchester United's first three Premier League matches.

However, Ten Hag could rotate his squad in the EFL Cup and Europa League which should give Eriksen to get some minutes under his belt before January.

The Red Devils will begin their EFL Cup campaign with a tie against Barnsley on September 17, while they will kick off the Europa League main draw with a clash against Twente on September 25.

Meanwhile, Eriksen's current focus will be helping Denmark get off to a positive start in the UEFA Nations League.

Denmark will play host to Switzerland on Thursday, before they turn their attention to Sunday's home meeting with Serbia. body check tags ::
