[골닷컴] Reporter Kim Hyung-joong = Christian Eriksen is expected to appear for the first time in a Manchester United jersey on the 27th (local time).
After falling from a heart attack during the Euro 2020 match last year, Eriksen miraculously recovered and returned to the field. Under Serie A rules, he parted ways with Inter Milan and joined Brentford in the Premier League. Although there were concerns, Eriksen proved his class by scoring one goal and four assists in 11 appearances for the Brentford jersey.
This summer, when his short-term contract with Brentford ended, he received a love call from his former team Tottenham Hotspur. The presence of coach Antonio Conte, whom he had a relationship with during his time at Inter Milan, also made Eriksen look forward to a move to Tottenham. But his final choice was Manchester United. The big reason was that he might get more opportunities under manager Erik Ten Haach.
Such Eriksen is waiting for his first sortie as a Manchester United player. It was originally expected to play in a friendly match once morest Atlético Madrid in Oslo, Norway on the 31st, but his debut is expected to come sooner.
British local media ‘Manchester Evening News’ reported on the 27th that manager Ten Haach had changed the plans for a closed friendly match once morest Rexham AFC scheduled for the same day. It was originally planned to focus on youth players, but it is known that coach Ten Haach changed his mind to send out first-team players who might not participate in the pre-season tour.
Locally, Eriksen and defender Lisandro Martinez are expected to make their debut. In particular, as this match is held privately, it is expected to be used to control the condition of players who are not in their form. In addition, since the opponent is a team in the 5th division, it seems that they will play the game without much pressure.
After the match once morest Rexham, United will play two friendly matches once morest Atletico Madrid on the 30th and Rayo Vallecano of La Liga on the 31st. On the 7th of next month, the 2022/23 Premier League starts with the first round home match once morest Brighton.
