Move over Eriksen: United should now sign “enormous” £50m star to replace him

 

Manchester United will likely reinforce their midfield during the summer transfer window after a tough season in the Premier League.

Christian Eriksen is expected to leave. He has confirmed he is preparing for a new challenge after his contract expires on June 30.

The club should swoop for Hugo Larsson as a replacement for the 33-year-old.

Larsson has quickly developed into one of the best central midfielders in German football.

The 20-year-old signed for Eintracht Frankfurt from Malmo in 2023. He has had a fantastic second season at the Bundesliga outfit with several standout displays.

The Sweden international has an 88 percent passing accuracy this term. Larsson has also bagged six goals and an assist.

The youngster has caught the eye with late runs into the box and should only get better with age and experience.

The midfielder has ‘enormous‘ potential, according to Eintracht chief executive officer Markus Krosche.

The German club want £50 million to sanction his sale. United should grab the opportunity to sign him as he can also operate as a defensive midfielder.

Larsson would be a perfect foil for Manuel Ugarte in the heart of the midfield. Bruno Fernandes could be pushed into his more preferred number 10 position.
