Having taken a sabbatical after suffering a cardiac arrest in EURO 2020, Eriksen resumed his footballing journey with Brentford in January. The Danish star impressed upon his return to the pitch, scoring a goal and providing four assists in 11 Premier League appearances.
Brentford initially offered him a six-month contract, meaning the 30-year-old would become a free agent on June 30. Romano has now shared an update on his future, revealing that Manchester United might have to fend off three teams to get their man.

The Italian journalist added that every club are now waiting for Eriksen to convey his answer.
Romano added:
Manchester United could find themselves at a disadvantage in Christian Eriksen chase
With creative midfielders such as Juan Mata and Paul Pogba leaving the club, Eriksen could have been a perfect acquisition for Manchester United in the summer. However, given the shape that they are in, it would not be surprising if Eriksen chooses to overlook their plea.
Having failed to secure Champions League football, United cannot offer Eriksen the thrill of playing against the best teams in Europe.
Additionally, since the 30-year-old only returned to football a few months back, he might opt to move to familiar surroundings. As grand as it may be, Old Trafford cannot offer him that sense of familiarity.
All things considered, Tottenham Hotspur, the club Eriksen called home for six-and-a-half years between 2013 and 2020, seem to be the ones leading the pack.
Not only can they offer him familiarity, but they can also give him the chance to play against the best teams in the Champions League next season.
