MANCHESTER UNITED face a race against time to complete Christian Eriksen’s transfer move before departing on tour.
The Denmark international, 30, is set to sign a three-year deal at Old Trafford after snubbing a stay at Brentford.
Man Utd face a race against time to make Man Utd’s pre-season tour on FridayCredit: GettyEriksen has made an incredible recovery since having a cardiac arrest on the pitch during a Euro 2020 match in June last year.
The star was forced to leave Inter Milan after having a defibrillator – which are not allowed in Italy – fitted in the weeks after his collapse.
But he returned to top-level football when fellow Dane Thomas Frank offered him a short-term deal at Brentford.
And he proved he can still make a huge impact in the Premier League as he helped the Bees secure top-flight survival.

However, he has now agreed to join United instead and is said to have wanted £200,000 a week.
He is due to sign a contract, although the final figure is though to be worth less than that.
Eriksen’s move to Old Trafford is subject to a medical, which the BBC claim has still not been arranged.
