Top-tier footballer Christian Eriksen in training with a Europa League team post-Man United departure

In a surprising turn of events, Danish national team coach Brian Riemer has advised Christian Eriksen to focus on finding a new football club and getting back into team training, rather than training with the Denmark squad. This decision comes as Eriksen continues his search for a new club, with no other clubs' interest being explicitly mentioned in the search results.

Eriksen left Manchester United after his contract expired in June and has since been training with Swedish side Malmö. However, it remains unclear whether the midfielder could earn a contract with Malmö, as the VfL Wolfsburg has officially signed him on a two-year contract from September 2025.

Malmo submitted their squad for this season's Europa League league phase earlier this week, but if Eriksen signs for the club, he would not be able to feature in the Europa League until the knockout rounds in early 2026. This has led to speculation about potential moves to Championship club Wrexham and Leeds United.

Riemer believes that if Eriksen had a club, he would have been selected for the Denmark squad. He considers this decision to be one of the biggest dilemmas he has had to make, as he still sees Eriksen as one of the team's best players in many areas. The coaching team's assessment is that Eriksen should be disregarded at this stage due to his lack of recent training.

Time has run out for Eriksen to find a new club before the Denmark squad's training camp. The European transfer window came to a head last Monday, but Eriksen still has time to secure his next move. The omission of Eriksen from the Denmark squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Scotland and Greece is considered difficult for Riemer.

On Thursday morning, Eriksen was pictured training with Malmo, continuing his search for a new club. The reasons for Eriksen's omission from the squad are his lack of training with a club in the past two and a half months. Riemer advises Eriksen to focus on finding a place to play football and getting back into team training, rather than training with the Denmark squad.

As the search for a new club continues, Eriksen's future in football remains uncertain. Fans and pundits alike eagerly await news of his next move, hoping to see the talented midfielder back on the pitch soon.
