Christian Eriksen has reportedly been offered a contract worth £150,000 per week to join Manchester United this summer.
Eriksen, 30, is currently a free agent after his six-month contract at Brentford expired at the end of last season.
The Danish international was forced to leave Inter Milan in 2021 following his collapse at the European Championships. To continue playing, he was required to have an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) fitted, which was not allowed by Serie A.
