Manchester United haveannounced athree-year deal with Christian Eriksen, who has becometheirsecond acquisition of the current summer transfer season. In the footsteps of Tyrell Malacia, Eriksen has arrived at Old Traffordafter finally deciding where he wanted to go.
The Danishacewas debating whether he should stay at Brentford, the club that provided him the opportunity to restart his career. The other option was tojoin Erik ten Hag’s initiative.
WhileLisandro Martinez, United’s third summer addition, is expected to finalize his €50 million transfer from Ajax this weekend.As soon as the Argentina international center-back lands in Manchester, he will face a medical examination, and the club will need to arrange for a visa for him.
When will Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez debut for Manchester United?
Christian Eriksenhad been expected to go to Australia for the team’s last two friendlies against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa, but that has now been ruled out.There are rumors that the Red Devils will not send their new acquisition on a long-haul journey to Australia since the club only has two games left before returning to Europe for the last two friendlies of their summer tour.
It is likely that the 30-year-old midfielder will resume training at Carrington next week and make his debut against Atletico Madrid in Oslo on July 30. A little over a day later, Manchester United will play Rayo Vallecano atOld Trafford, which will be Erik ten Hag‘s first home game in command of the club.
The Dutchman is expected to employ his whole team for the two friendlies, and the ex-Tottenham starmight participate in both games, perhaps for half of each, as he works to be ready for the new season. In fact, LisandroMartinez will not go to Australiaeither.
It seems that both playersmay train together at Carrington once their moves are confirmed. Atletico Madrid on July 30, and Rayo Vallecano on July 31, are optionsin which the Argentine defender might make his debut.
