Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen expects to leave the club at the end of the season. The Dane also added he is not ready to move back to his home country. 

The midfielder can leave the club as a free agent once his contract expires at the end of the season. Eriksen joined the Red Devils back in 2022. The 33-year-old said he hasn’t been given any update by the club regarding his future and thus he is presuming that his contract won’t be extended.

“I haven’t been told anything and since I haven’t, I assume the collaboration will end,” he said in an interview to Danish outlet TV2.

“That’s how I interpret it. Everyone knows my contract is expiring, so I expect there’s only one way this will go.”

“I haven’t thought much about it. In my mind, I’m prepared to find something new. What that will be, I haven’t decided yet,” he added.

“I don’t have anything specific that I really want to try, so I’ll see what comes along and what fits me and my family.”

Eriksen has made only 14 appearances for Manchester United under new head coach Ruben Amorim.

“I feel like I still have a few good years left abroad. If I move to Denmark, it would feel like focusing a lot on family and winding down my career, and that’s fine, but I’m not there yet.”

When asked if that was down to the massive attention he’d receive in Denmark, he said: “Not at all. It’s only about football and where I am now. I’ve spent many years abroad, so moving home would feel like moving to an entirely new country.

“We’re not there yet,” he said.

Manchester United will next take on Nottm Forest at the City Ground on 1st April.
