The reborn Eriksen is experiencing a big transfer! He will be wearing the jersey of one of the most traditional teams in the world. Remember his incredibly powerful story?
Christian Eriksen is a 30 year old Danish footballer who has really done a lot. He is a four-time Danish Footballer of the Year and has over 100 national team starts to his name. He scored his first one in 2010 and was the youngest player of the championship at the World Cup in the same year. In his club career, he left his biggest mark at Tottenham.

Eriksen has undoubtedly experienced the most at Tottenham, where he has struck in 250 games. He is an offensive and creative midfielder. He has managed to record 10 or more goal assists in four consecutive Premier League seasons.
This is a statistic that only the legendary David Beckham can boast, apart from Eriksen. Eriksen has played a lot, but all football fans remember the worst moment of his career and one of the ugliest moments football has ever produced.
The fateful moment came at Euro 2020 (played in 2021 – ed.) on 12 June, in the 43rd minute of the match against Finland. At that moment, everyone watching the match around the world was left breathless.
The Danish favourite on the pitch collapsed and had to be resuscitated. The incredibly emotional images are remembered by all. Fortunately, the resuscitation was successful and Eriksen was taken to hospital where his condition was stabilized. Two days later, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator was inserted into his heart.
A sad moment was soon replaced by a respectful one. In his support, the game was stopped in the 10th minute of the match between Denmark and Belgium on 22 June (10 is the number on Eriksen’s jersey) and the stadium crowd paid tribute to him with a minute-long applause.
The transfer to Manchester United, which has just been completed, is not one of the biggest in terms of expectations or money. It can only be counted among the biggest by the fact that it can happen at all. In short, everyone feared for Christian’s life.
But he has returned to football with a huge passion and is once again playing it at the highest level. In 2021 he won the league title with Inter Milan, to which he contributed 3 goals before his long break.
He moved to Brentford in England for another year. His creativity was immediately felt on the pitch and he helped his team a lot. He contributed a goal and 4 assists in 11 games. Most of the games he played the full 90 minutes. At the UEFA Nations League in June, Eriksen also returned to the national team, which was his big wish.
This guy has shown the world his immense love for football and passion for the cause. At that fateful moment, when doctors said Eriksen narrowly escaped death or permanent damage, nobody thought he would return to football.
But he has returned, and he’s even thriving. He will write the next chapter of his very interesting career in the theatre of his dreams, at Old Trafford, in a Red Devils jersey, and there is perhaps no one who would not wish it on him.
