manchestereveningnews.co.ukManchester 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.
