The 32-year-old has participated in just 21 matches across various competitions in the 2023-24 season, with a mere nine of those appearances as a starter. This decline in playing time is attributed to being surpassed by Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Kobbie Mainoo, and Scott McTominay in the midfield hierarchy. Consequently, the seasoned playmaker finds himself frustrated with the lack of opportunities and has expressed his desire to be more actively involved in the team’s proceedings.
Speaking to Tipsbladet, the Danish international acknowledged his dissatisfaction with the situation, emphasizing his willingness to contribute to the team despite his diminished role. He conveyed his acceptance of the current circumstances, emphasizing the importance of maintaining readiness and focus for each game. Additionally, he disclosed a conversation with Erik ten Hag, expressing his desire for more playing time while recognizing the competition within the squad.
Hinting at the possibility of a summer transfer to secure regular playing time, Eriksen emphasized his priority of being on the pitch consistently. While acknowledging potential concerns about his future, he remains focused on the present and respects the dynamics of team selection. Despite being contracted with Manchester United until 2025, his attention is now turned towards international duties, with Denmark scheduled to play friendly matches against Switzerland and the Faroe Islands in March.
