The player who would come to United for free and put pressure on Cristiano Ronaldo

In the 2021-2022 season, Manchester United came very close to achieving the two goals it has been pursuing for years: winning the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, goals it failed to achieve last season due to mistakes on the pitch. However, there was also good news for the club.

It had been a long time since the team had been able to show that it could again reach the quality peaks it had when Sir Alex Ferguson was coach, as it did last season when it finished sixth in the Premier League and reached the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, so the leap in quality that was achieved is something the team wants to give continuity to.

And with this goal in mind, Erik ten Hag wants to attract elements to the Old Trafford team to give that leap in quality that the team wants to give for several seasons, so the coach of the team now knows that what he has to do is to look for a player to put some pressure on Cristiano Ronaldo, so that he can once again give his best version. 

The midfielder who would arrive for free to United and who would put pressure on Cristiano Ronaldo

Brentford midfielder Christian Eriksen would be on the radar of Manchester United as Ten Hag sees him as the midfield element that could put pressure on Cristiano Ronaldo to give his best version in the Red Devil team, as Eriksen would give the Old Trafford midfield that ball circulation that would give more options to the strikers to score. 

And a very good news for the Manchester club is that the player finishes his contract on June 30 with Brentford, so he would arrive for free to Erik ten Hag's team, who would only have to take care of the player's salary. And the player could help the club return to the UEFA Champions League, as next season they will have to be content with playing in the UEFA Europa League.
