Christian Eriksen has agreed to snub Brentford in favour of joining United as a free agent, according to wide-ranging reports. The midfielder spent the second half of last season with the Bees but has been earmarked as a key target for Ten Hag, who wants more technically-gifted midfielders. There remains doubt over the future of star forward Cristiano Ronaldo, though. The 37-year-old has apparently told United chiefs that he wishes to leave if a suitable offer is made, and has a desire to continue playing in the Champions League. Ronaldo has not been present at pre-season training but it is not understood that it has anything to do with his wish to leave.
