Christian Eriksen notified Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag of his lack of happiness at the club.

Eriksen became second option after Kobbie Mainoo became the preferable pair of legs for his role in the squad.

Speaking to Dutch sports magazine Tipsbladet, Eriksen shared his feelings as follows:

‘I have previously stated that I am not satisfied with not playing, but it’s not something that keeps me up at night.

‘The team is performing, and I must respect the role I have alongside. For my part, it has been about working hard and focusing on being fresh for every game, and I am. It is easier now to accept my role than it would have been before.

‘I have had a conversation with Erik [Ten Hag] about being unhappy with the situation and wanting to play as much as possible, but I am available and need to be available for the team, which I am and always will be.

‘He said it was the team he had chosen, and Kobbie [Mainoo] is doing well, and the rest of the midfield is also performing well, so there is competition for places, which is expected when playing for a top club. There is great competition within the team.

‘Of course, you can be concerned in the long run because I want to play as much as possible. Naturally, you don’t want to always sit on the bench. I don’t have that approach to it, but it’s not something that worries me right now.

‘Often when you change teams and win, you don’t change the winning team, and I respect that.’

The player’s contract with the Red Devils runs till 2025, but he might press for a transfer if the internal discomfort continues.
