According to Sky Sports, the sensational newly promoted Championship club – owned by Reynolds and Rob McElhenney – has made contact with the Danish midfield magician. Eriksen, who recently left United after 107 appearances, is now at a career crossroads.

- Risk of becoming a “former star” instead of a “current star”
🎥 Too much show, too little football?:
