Aside from money, what would be his motivation to move to us from a footballing perspective?
If Eriksen wanted to come here, it would have to be because he believes in the project and the manager. We have no sporting options to offer Eriksen to outbid our rivals in terms of CL or serie title chances this year, unless Mason Greenwood goes full Ronaldo. (Spoiler: He's not).
I'm going on a bit of a reach, but if Eriksen is at least a little bit interested in this on his end, he might have reached out to Aage Hareide (Denmarks national coach) to enquire about OGS and what type of manager and person he is to work with. Hareide and OGS have a excellent relationship and Hareide will no doubt have recommended OGS highly.
We have also just purchased AWB and Maguire, about to pen De Gea to a 6 year contract, and Pogba looking likely to stay. We have a much stronger first XI than a lot of people think (our issue is depth but more about that in another post). Eriksen might see the sum of it all and see that there is something positive going on here. Manchester United is a huge huge club in the Nordic countries, I can't seem to find what team Eriksen favored as a kid, but there's a chance it was Manchester United (or Liverpool, or Tottenham, I don't know). We have seen players wanting to come here because Manchester United was their team growing up in the past. But this is all far reaching speculation.
Manchester United is still one of the biggest clubs in the world with a gigantic world wide fanbase. It might be that a player cares about this, or it might be completely irrelevant, no doubt that this perspective is wildly different from a fans point of view.
To me Christian Eriksen is one of the finest AM's in football, and I'd be extremely happy if we somehow managed to buy him from Tottenham. The odds of that actually happening seems to be something along the realm of what takes place in Football Manager though. But hey, someone wins the lottery, maybe we do as well.
