I have had two very good years and am going into my third." He emphasised the special nature of the club and how well his family has settled in Manchester. "It is a special club and a special place.

He acknowledged that playing time depends on both personal effort and managerial decisions. "Obviously, I want to play as much as possible and do everything I can. But that is nothing to do with the club - it is up to you and the manager," Eriksen explained.Despite reduced playing time last season, Eriksen remains optimistic about his role at Manchester United. He feels positive about his position within the team and looks forward to contributing more in the upcoming season.Manchester United shared a tweet featuring Eriksen, expressing excitement for the new season: "See you on the other side, Reds ???? #MUFC || #MUTOUR24."
