Manchester United met with Christian Eriksen's agent recently to discuss a move to Old Trafford this summer, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

Eriksen's contract at Brentford expires later this month, although the Denmark international is yet to decide where he'll be playing his football next season.

What's the latest news involving Eriksen?

Having impressed by scoring once and adding four assists in 11 appearances following his January move, the Bees have offered the 30-year-old a long-term contract and are waiting for his response.

The report adds that Eriksen, described as 'world-class' by Thomas Frank, is settled in London, having spent six-and-a-half seasons at Tottenham from 2013-2019.

Therefore, Tottenham have also presented Eriksen, who's scored 115 club goals across his career, an offer as Antonio Conte hopes to reunite with the midfielder after winning Serie A together at Inter Milan.

But United are the latest Premier League club to join the race for his signature, with The Athletic reporting that the Red Devils have made the ex-Ajax star an offer over a switch to Old Trafford.

What did Romano say about Eriksen?

He told GIVEMESPORT: "With Christian Eriksen, they had a conversation, a direct discussion with his agent Martin Schoots a few days ago, they discussed about a potential contract, so it's a possibility, but Tottenham and Brentford are also pushing for him to go next season."

Why do Manchester United want Eriksen?

Having scored just 57 Premier League goals last season, it's clear that a lack of creativity was a major issue at Old Trafford.

Only Bruno Fernandes (6) and Paul Pogba (9) claimed more than four assists and four of the latter's came on the opening day against Leeds.

According to WhoScored, Fernandes did top the key passes list with 2.5 every time he took to the pitch, but considering he was playing alongside the likes of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo, that's the minimum you'd expect from someone with his skill set.

Therefore, Eriksen could be the man to take United forward on that front. In 938 minutes of top-flight action, the Dane laid on four assists, and contributed 2.7 key passes every game on average.

In fact, only Kevin De Bruyne and Martin Odegaard created more chances than Eriksen (30) since his Bees debut at the end of February.

And he managed that in a Brentford side that finished mid-table, so just imagine what he could do playing alongside the likes of Ronaldo and co.
