Manchester United's plan to sell Eriksen is exposed, or compensation of 3 million! Ajax was interested but not offered

In the final moments of the transfer window, United are still looking to try to sell 32-year-old veteran midfielder Christian Eriksen. However, due to the transfer fee and salary figures, the deal will not be easy to get done, and the club may have to compensate the Denmark international.

According to the United Kingdom Daily Mail, Ajax are currently interested in re-signing the former academy player, however, Jax has not made an offer because they do not have a sufficient budget available.

Manchester United had previously pitched Eriksen to a number of clubs in the Eredivisie and Belgium for €5 million. That amount, combined with Eriksen's £150,000 weekly salary, made the deal unrealisable.

Belgium's Anderlecht is one of the clubs interested in Eriksen and his manager Brian · Reemer has publicly expressed his admiration for him. But the club's president, Jasper · Fred Berry, admits it is beyond their ability to bring in Manchester United stars.

"I never mentioned Eriksen's name myself, but of course I knew Christian. He's a top player and still has a one-year contract with a top club." Fred Berry explained to The News, "At the moment, signing Eriksen doesn't seem realistic. But if a door opens suddenly, I want to be the first to walk in. It's not just about Manchester United's requirements, in this case it's also about the players' salary requirements."

One of the options is said to be for United to collect a transfer fee of €5 million from Ajax and give Eriksen a salary compensation of 3 million, so that the player can reduce the post-transfer salary requirements. Or skip this intermediate link, and Eri give up the addition, and Manchester United can lower the asking price for Ajax.

At the moment, Ajax are still on the sidelines, with Christian Eriksen happy with his financial role at Manchester United but unhappy at the competitive level as he has not played time and has only been an unused substitute in the first two Premier League rounds.

The Manchester Evening News revealed that in addition to selling Jadon Sancho, Victor Lindelof and Eriksen, Manchester United also hope to sell two other youngsters· Sonny Aljofree and Elyh Harrison before ·the transfer deadline.

19-year-old centre-back Ajofri and 18-year-old goalkeeper Harrison are believed to be out and about, with the club asking potential loanees to come up with a development plan for the players.

On Wednesday, Manchester United's opponents in the third round of the English League Cup have been drawn, with Ten Hag's side hosting League One Barnsley on 18 September. The Red Devils will also be aware of their Europa League group stage opponents this Friday, with a major change in Europe this season as the traditional group stage will be replaced by the league stage.

Manchester United will play eight games with each team in the same group, four home and four away, and will need to try to finish as high as possible in the table. The top eight teams will automatically qualify for the round of 16, while teams ranked 9 to 24 will qualify for the play-offs, with the rest eliminated and will not be relegated to the UEFA Cup.

Manchester United are seeded in Pot 1 of the Europa League with Roma, Porto, Rangers, Eintracht Frankfurt, Lazio and Tottenham, and the Red Devils will play against two teams in each bracket, including Pot 1, but will not draw Tottenham in the Premier League and will only play against a maximum of two teams from another country. This means that Manchester United could face the likes of Fenerbahce, who was coached by former manager Jose Mourinho, and Ajax, who is Erik ten Hag's old club.
