Christian Eriksen has made it clear that leaving Manchester United this summer was never on his mind.
Despite a challenging start to the season, he is firmly committed to the team and determined to contribute.
The 32-year-old midfielder played a pivotal role in helping Erik ten Hag’s side recover from back-to-back losses.
Steady at United Despite Limited Playtime
Last season, Eriksen had a limited role, only starting 14 matches.
Even with Real Betis making a loan offer on transfer deadline day, Manchester United decided to keep him.
Eriksen showed his value by returning to the starting line-up in United’s victory over Southampton and contributing to their dominant 7-0 win against Barnsley in the Carabao Cup.
A Move Only if Necessary
The former Tottenham star emphasized that he is content at United and had no intention of leaving unless the club wanted him to.
“I feel very good being at United,” Eriksen shared.
“If they told me to leave, I would, but I didn’t hear that.
I enjoy being in a place where my family is settled and where I can continue playing and improving.”
He also acknowledged that predicting his playtime this season was uncertain, but he remains focused on hard work and contributing to the team’s success.
Focused on Contributing
Eriksen is eager to make an impact in his remaining year at the club.
Having scored twice in the Barnsley match, a feat he hadn’t accomplished since 2018, he is looking to maintain this momentum.
He also assisted Marcus Rashford, highlighting his all-around contribution to the team’s recent success.
Keeping the Momentum
Reflecting on his performance, Eriksen said, “I only scored two and assisted one, so I’ll claim three!
It was great to help the team and build my confidence with these goals.”
He recognizes the importance of consistency, stating, “It’s just two wins, but we need to keep this going.
Winning each game and building confidence is key moving forward.”
With Manchester United now on a two-game winning streak, Eriksen is hopeful that the team can maintain this strong form.
His focus remains on helping the squad achieve consistency, not just in goals but in overall performance.
