'Does Eriksen want trophies?' - Man Utd move may not be best, says Brown

The former Tottenham midfielder admits a “difficult” situation has been created in north London, with a Danish playmaker running down his contract

Christian Eriksen will have "plenty of takers" when the time comes to leave Tottenham, says Michael Brown, but the former Spurs midfielder has suggested a switch to Old Trafford may not be the right one if he wants to win trophies.

He told Goal when asked if a switch to Old Trafford would represent a backwards step: “Only he can answer that. It’s about what type of move he wants – is it for financial [reasons] or does he want to go and try and win trophies, win leagues?

“Sometimes, look at Manchester United, they have had to overpay in certain situations to get players because they are not at the top of the pile now.

“There will be plenty of takers for Eriksen but it’s about who suits all parties. It will be interesting to see where that is and can Spurs change his mind.”
