Manchester United have reportedly decided that one of their first team stars will be allowed to leave the club at the end of the season.

According to the Sun, the Red Devils have decided that Eriksen will be allowed to leave at the end campaign.

Eriksen is seemingly set to be one of the first casualties of the new co-owners' decision as they look to revamp the squad for next season.

During the recent international break, Eriksen expressed his unhappiness with the lack of regular game time this season.

"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."
