CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN is being “humiliated” by Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte, his ex-Denmark manager claims.
Arsenal and Manchester United have been linked with former Tottenham midfielder Eriksen, who has played just six minutes of Inter’s last four Serie A games.

And after the 103-cap Dane only came on in stoppage time during Saturday’s 3-1 win over Bologna, Age Hareide blasted Conte’s treatment of the 28-year-old.
The Rosenborg manager, who bossed Denmark from 2016 until April this year, said: “First of all, I think it’s a shame for Christian.
“But I also think it’s completely wrong that Conte is keeping him out so much.”
‘CHRISTIAN AND AGENT MUST FIGURE THIS OUT’
Hareide believes it was “humiliating” for Eriksen to be used so late as second-placed Inter eased home against mid-table Bologna.
FCInter quote him as saying: “In my opinion, he is good enough to play for Inter.
“He proved to be an important player, both for Denmark and for Tottenham in the Premier League, where he was a key player.”
And of the 28-year-old’s situation ahead of the transfer window, Hareide said: “Christian and his agent need to figure this out.
“But it is clear that the situation is in no way optimal.”
Eriksen himself spiced up the saga with a curious Facebook post after his three minutes of action against Bologna.
Alongside a landscape photo of just himself in training gear, he wrote: “Alone.”
And in a follow-up message, he said: “I want to thank the fans for this great support.
“I was pleased with this great support and would like to say Forza Inter.”
