Manchester United reportedly handed Christian Eriksen a £12m signing-on bonus to ensure they beat Tottenham to his signature. The Dane arrived as a free agent in the summer following the end of this contract at Brentford. He became Erik ten Hag’s second signing as United boss and has played all five games so far this season.
Former club Tottenham were interested in the playmaker this summer, but were outpriced by United. That’s according to Football Insider which claims the Reds will hand Eriksen £43m over his three-year deal.
It says the 30-year-old is commanding a weekly wage of £200,000, which is part of the £43m package. United spent a record £225m on Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Casemiro and Antony this summer.

Meanwhile, The Express says United turned down the opportunity to sign Moises Caicedo before his move to Brighton.
The 20-year-old is impressing on the south coast and is reportedly being tracked by a number of clubs, including United. The Express says Reds had the chance to sign the midfielder for £4.5m before his move to the Seagulls 18 months ago but declined to. His price tag has risen considerably since.
