Manchester United allowed Christian Eriksen to leave on a free upon the expiration of his contract in the summer.

After enjoying a fantastic six months in his first season in Manchester, Andy Carroll’s horrific challenge saw him pick up a knee injury.

Upon his return, he was no longer the same player. He notched 10 assists and two goals in his first season, before his form dropped off in his subsequent campaign as he managed only one goal and three assists.

His pace decreased further, and Ruben Amorim was forced to cast him aside. While the Red Devils failed to sign a replacement, the Denmark international has found himself a new club.

Eriksen’s new home It took him awhile to find the club that best suited his style of play, and the 33-year-old eventually signed for Wolfsburg on the two year deal.

And as revealed by Bild, the ex-Tottenham Hotspur maestro agreed to take a massive pay cut to seal a move to the Bundesliga.

He was getting paid 10 million per year at Old Trafford, and now, he will earn 3.5 million, which is not even the club’s highest wage packet.

And the FA Cup winner with United had far more lucrative offers from both the MLS and Saudi Pro League, yet he wanted to remain in Europe and play at the highest level.

“According to BILD, the Danish record international player is said to earn around 3.5 million gross per season. However, this doesn’t put him among the Wolves’ top earners; captain Maximilian Arnold (31) is the top earner with an estimated 5 million.

Wage details “Eriksen had recently been keeping fit at Swedish club Malm FF. At the same time, the playmaker had numerous clubs on their radar, including teams from the desert, the USA, and English second-division side Wrexham. Eriksen chose Wolfsburg and foregoes the money for that.

“According to BILD, the right-footer reportedly earned around 10 million per year at Manchester United (2022 to 2025). In comparison, he earns around 65 percent less at the current sixth-placed Bundesliga club.

“A significant cut at this level, one that could have been avoided with a move to the desert or the USA. But Eriksen wanted to join the Wolves!”

He had offers from England as well, but Christian Eriksen had made it clear that he did not want to play for another English side after leaving the 20-time English league champions.
