Fabrizio Romano has now <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.givemesport.com\/manchester-united-transfers-exclusive-fabrizio-romano-victor-lindelof-rashford\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a> that the club have &#8220;already decided internally&#8221; that they will not be extending his contract and are going to allow him to leave on a free transfer in the summer as he has &#8220;no future&#8221; under Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/12\/19\/manchester-united-sir-jim-ratcliffe-ownership-increase\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Man Utd Get Major Financial Boost As \u00a379 Million Windfall Impacts Ownership Structure<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also added that only a strong enough financial proposal could convince the club to sell him on a permanent basis in the January transfer window rather than lose him for nothing after the campaign ends. Romano adds that &#8220;in case a good club appears with a good proposal for the player, United could be open to facilitating his exit and move on from a signing strongly wanted by previous manager Erik ten Hag&#8221;. The journalist claims that Eriksen doesn&#8217;t suit Amorim&#8217;s vision over what kind of players he wants in his midfield line, with the gaffer craving for more intensity in midfield.<\/p>\n<h3>Are Any Clubs Interested In Eriksen?<\/h3>\n<p>Fortunately for the 31-year-old midfielder, he should have options available if forced to leave Old Trafford and become a free agent. Romano further claims that Real Betis tried to sign him last summer, but couldn&#8217;t strike an agreement with United or the player himself.
