Transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano has revealed “why” a Manchester United star is “expected to leave” following the arrival of Ruben Amorim.

39 year old Amorim has been appointed to replace Erik ten Hag and his first game in charge is at Ipswich Town on Sunday afternoon.

The former Sporting Lisbon manager has a big job at Old Trafford as Man Utd is thirteenth in the Premier League after eleven games.

There is likely to be an overhaul at Man Utd as Amorim looks to take the Premier League giants to another level. This means that several players are at risk of being relieved at some point next year.

Amad Diallo, Harry Maguire, Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans and Tom Heaton are in the final year of their contracts.

Man Utd have the option to extend Amad and Maguire’s deals on the same terms until 2026, but the other players may be more likely to leave in the summer and Romano “expects” Eriksen to move on.

The transfer guru has revealed “why” the experienced midfielder is “expected to leave” as Amorim’s “vision is different” to Ten Hag’s.

“What I also hear is that today there is zero contact between Christian Eriksen, his camp, and Manchester United to sign a new contract in 2025,” Romano said.

“So the expectation is that Christian Eriksen will leave Manchester United on a free transfer in 2025, and could be in the summer transfer window as a free agent. Let’s see what happens in January.

“At the moment I am not aware of any contact or negotiation in January. Last summer we had rumors about Ajax, but now I don’t know of any new contact between Eriksen and any other club. But for 2025 on a free this is more than a possibility from what I hear.

“Man United want to go in a different direction. May United want intensity in that position, they obviously respect Christian Eriksen, who also did quite well in the first part of the season under Erik ten Hag, but the vision for Ruben Amorim is different. It is why Eriksen is expected to leave Manchester United.

In an interview with Gary Neville, Amorim claimed Man Utd felt like his “place”.

– It was really hard but I had to do it. I already had talks with clubs so it was quite normal, but what I felt then, I felt that this is my place, Amorim told Neville.

“I think it was the right club at the right moment for me,” Amorin continued. ‘I felt this is my place. I think it was the right club at the right moment for me.

“It was very tough to leave Sporting. Because in the middle of the season you can say everything, it’s Manchester United. It’s everything, it’s the moment, it’s the club I want.

“But you leave your guys in the middle of the season. It was really hard but I had to do it and I was so happy of course.

“You can see it in every interaction that I have, but I also felt at first it was a bit overwhelming. But after five minutes you start thinking about the club, the team, the players, how to play… so it was quite fun .”
