Ask yourself should the club pay 50m to have Eriksen at the club for a season
Nope sell him to wherever he wants to go then.
Better selling him to United this summer for 50m than him going to City, Chelsea, Liverpool or United for free next summer.
If we sold him to Utd that would be massive. There would be a lot of scrutiny over the move, and whether or not we fudged up in doing so.
How would he do at Utd? Honestly Im unsure.
He is of course an excellent player, but he would be going into a team in transition with a lot of issues.
Is he a player to make them better? Pull it all together? Make them tick? Potentially. Or, is he a player to get lost in all the noise and not really impact their game consistently?
Matic has no legs behind him, McTomminay looks ok for a youth player but is hardly going to set the world alight. Id expect Mata to end up under Eriksens feet. With Martial and Rashford to try and find with passes, and Linguard doing who knows what?!
Theres the interesting nature of players just not looking that good once they leave Poch. I have no doubt as to Eriksens quality, but I do wonder if the same might apply to him? He has been really blessed as one of the main beneficiaries of a very stable set up the last 5 years...
It's worth £50m to break the 'small club meteorology' cycle.
Send him to the Vincent Janssen dungeon at the training ground and by next summer he'll have offers from Nordsjælland and Midtjylland to choose between
The only way selling him to a English team is acceptable is if the money is used to buy a couple of replacements and ideally we also add Dybala who we know they wanted
Otherwise sell him for less abroad if you can find a buyer
If United are the only team in for him this summer and he'd rather go there than sign a new deal then that's what has to happen - as Modric says above you wouldn't pay 50m to have him on loan for a year.
If he goes i hope we have something like Lo Celso AND Fernandez lined up as incomings
And it is also important that Utd do not make the top 4.
On the contrary it's quite important they do as it'll mean neither Chelsea or Arsenal have.
I'd rather Everton tbhI would rather Leicester

I agree with the sentiment but i think in practice having United make up the top 4 along with ourselves Liverpool and City will be the best for us in the long runNah, I do not want to see an Eriksen inspired Man Utd in the CL, not at all. I would rather have Chelscum or Leicester finish 4th this season
I doubt a club as cash poor as we are can simply afford to tinkle away £50 down the drain, especially as we are struggling to raise money for new players.
