Man Utd target close to making future decision

Manchester United target Christian Eriksen is on the verge of making a decision over his next club, reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano reports.

The Dane suffered a shock cardiac arrest at the European Championships last summer, but has since made a terrific recovery to return to football.

He joined Brentford on a short-term deal in January, and was hugely impressive for them with four goals and one assist from 11 games.

The Bees would like to keep him beyond June 30, but they are facing fierce competition from Manchester United for his signature.

Both clubs have contacted his representative, and Romano cites that Eriksen will make a decision over his future in the next few hours.

Tottenham Hotspur were also linked with him recently, but they have distanced themselves with the focus on other positions.

Eriksen would be a quality signing for United if they can sign him. He would provide strong competition to Bruno Fernandes for the number 10 role.
