Man United ready to accept Christian Eriksen offer – sources
Man United are willing to let midfielder Christian Eriksen quit the club this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
The 32-year-old is believed to be unhappy at falling down the pecking order behind Scott McTominay, Kobbie Mainoo and others at Old Trafford.
Eriksen, who is under contract until June 2025, is a big earner at Man United after joining the club on a free transfer.
A well-placed source has told Football Insider that clubs in the Saudi Pro League are monitoring his situation and are interested in moving for the midfielder this summer.
The Denmark international, who took part in friendlies against Switzerland and the Faroe Islands this month, is now a bit-part figure at club level.

He has made 21 appearances across all competitions this term, notching one goal and two assists.
Just 11 of those outings came as part of the starting lineup with Eriksen totalling 1127 minutes of action in the 2023-24 campaign.
Those numbers are a far cry from his best season, which came in 2017-18 when he managed 14 goals and 13 assists for Tottenham.
Eriksen has long been a favourite of former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag, who signed him as a free agent in the summer of 2022 in his first transfer window at the club, and his departure would make him the biggest casualty yet of the new INEOS-led regime.
In his debut season for United, Eriksen made 44 appearances in all competitions and started 25 of the 31 league games he was available, scoring once and getting eight assists.
He helped the Red Devils lift the League Cup last season.
United are also ready to part with Sofyan Amrabat in the summer transfer window, with Football Insider revealing on Tuesday (26 March) that they will not activate the £21.4million option to buy in his loan deal.
