Last summer, barely avoiding a tragic death at the European Championship, Christian Eriksen signed a contract with "Manchester United" during the off-season. Giving his first interview officially to the "Man Utd" website, the Dane emphasized his huge desire to help the team and stated that he did not expect to receive an offer from the "Red Devils". "I didn't come here because of the team's logo, but because I want to play. The conversation with the coach and his vision greatly facilitated the decision to come here. At the same time, this is one of the biggest, if not the biggest club in the world. "Man Utd" is recognized worldwide, so I am very proud to be a part of it," explained C. Eriksen. "Before the fateful incident at the European Championship, I certainly did not think that I would return to England. Speaking about 'United', I thought I had missed my chance to join this team. Nevertheless, I am very happy that I am here now," added the Dane.
