Espanyol linked with surprise move for Man United star | OneFootball

La Liga outfit Espanyol have this week been tipped as a surprise potential landing spot for a departing member of the midfield ranks at Manchester United.

The player in question? Christian Eriksen.

Danish international Eriksen, for his part, is set to be on the move once more this summer.

This comes after the decision was made by the brass at the aforementioned Manchester United not to offer the 33-year-old a new contract.

Eriksen, in turn, will be available as a free agent.

A number of clubs from across the continent are understood to boast an interest in landing the former Tottenham and Inter Milan standout with a view to next season.

And as alluded to above, this week, something of a surprise contender has emerged from La Liga.

As per a report from transfer insider Ekrem Konur:

‘Espanyol joins the race for Christian Eriksen! The Spanish club is now actively pursuing Christian Eriksen, who is set to leave Manchester United this summer.’
