Manchester United have embarked on a new chapter with Ruben Amorim and a few changes in the squad are expected.
According to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Christian Eriksen will be shown the exit door at the end of the season.
Eriksen is in the final year of his current deal with Man United and the club have no intention to offer a new contract.
The Red Devils are ‘working intensively’ to sign a new midfielder to bolster their ranks.
They are open to signing a new number six/eight or an attacking midfielder.
Eriksen looked undroppable under Erik ten Hag this season. In 14 appearances, he has bagged four goals and three assists.
He reportedly earns around £150,000 per week. The midfielder lacks the dynamism required to thrive under Ruben Amorim.
Amorim prefers a 3-4-3 system and demands intensity from his players.
The new head coach wants relentless pressing and fitness from his players.
Eriksen still has the knack for unlocking defences with his sharp creative vision.
His natural instinct to move the ball forward ensures that United remain positive and attacking.
At 32, Eriksen is not getting any younger and fitter. United have made a wise choice to move forward and explore the transfer market.
They could sign a player in his mid-20s who has the idea of playing in a 3-4-3 set-up.
A new midfielder could be expected to earn less than £150,000 considering INEOS paid more than that amount to only one of their transfer signings (Matthijs de Ligt) this past summer.
The Red Devils already have Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount to operate as a number ten.
Signing a new number six/eight who can feature at the base of midfield will be a better option.
