Eriksen could leave Manchester United early in January! Abandoned by Amorim for 4 consecutive games, Mourinho refused to buy it

Eriksen may have to look for a new club in January ahead of schedule as it is clear that new manager Ruben Amorim has decided that he is completely out of step with his tactical requirements, and not only is the possibility of staying at United completely gone, but he may not even get much playing time.

In Manchester United's 3-2 Premier League defeat to Nottingham Forest, the 32-year-old Danish veteran once again put on the cold bench. In the last four games, Eriksen has either been on the bench and not playing as a reserve player, and he has not been included in the squad for the game against Everton, citing injury and absence.

Eriksen started alongside Casemiro in Amorim's opening game in charge, but it was clear that the game against Ipswich Town did not convince the new manager, and Alan Shearer even criticised him for not being able to play a high-intensity style of play again. Since then, the veteran Dane has not played a single minute of the game.

It is worth mentioning that Amorim played for Benfica when he was a player, and he played for Eriksen on the pitch, so the Portuguese young coach believes that such a veteran does not represent the future of Manchester United and should be renewed.

Fabrizio Romano has previously made it clear that the club does not intend to renew Eriksen's contract when it expires in June 2025. And now, having fallen out of favor completely, he may be seeking to leave sooner. If he continues to be unavailable in the Europa League in midweek, then his departure is a certainty.

The stats show that Eriksen has been impressive outside the Premier League this season, scoring two goals and providing two assists in four Europa League games, as well as two goals and one assist in United's 7-0 Carabao Cup win over Barnsley. However, there are only two positions in the midfield in United's 343 formation, with Ugarte, Kobe Maynor, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes all ahead of Eriksen.

So, if Eriksen were to be dropped on Thursday when Manchester United visited Plzen, Denmark, his hopes would be completely dashed. According to Fabrizio Romano, former club Ajax could be interested in Eriksen again, but more clubs prefer to wait until the summer when his contract expires before bringing in him for free.

Eriksen's £150,000 weekly salary is the biggest obstacle to his transfer, and it is also an important reason why Manchester United want to purge him, which is equivalent to an annual expenditure of 7.5 million pounds. In terms of transfer fees, Manchester United will not put too many obstacles, because Eriksen also signed for free that year. But Eriksen will have to take a pay cut to have any chance of completing any transfer.

British media rumors that Celtic of the Soviet Super League are considering bringing in Eriksen in January. However, Fenerbahce of the Turkish Super League has ruled down the possibility of a transfer, and Mourinho, who worked with Eriksen at Tottenham, does not plan to work with him again. Interestingly, in this season's Europa League, Eriksen scored past Fenerbahce's goal and the two teams ended up in a 1-1 draw.

Well-known journalist Rudy Galetti said Fenerbahce did not target Eriksen. "Despite some rumours, Fenerbahce doesn't see Eriksen as a specific target. The Turkish Super League club are looking for reinforcements in midfield, but so far the Manchester United players have not been on their radar."
