Man Utd transfer boost as Christian Eriksen 'rejects Brentford contract renewal and looks for new Premier League move' | The Sun

MANCHESTER UNITED have reportedly received a transfer boost after Christian Eriksen allegedly rejected a contract extension at Brentford.

The 30-year-old Danish star made his incredible return to competitive football in January just six months after suffering a cardiac arrest for Denmark at the Euros.

He moved to newly-promoted Brentford on a six-month deal and showed he had lost none of his magic as he helped the Bees secure their top-flight status.
