Eriksen received offers from every United manager before

Christian Eriksen

revealed that he rejected

’s offer many times before making a move last month.

The Denmark international joined United on a free transfer after a short spell with

, having left Serie A due to medical problems and not being able to play there.

The reason for that is he has an implantable cardioverter defibrillator in his body and Serie A does not allow players to feature with that.

Eriksen impressed under Thomas Frank’s reign at Brentford, meeting the target once and providing four assists in 11 matches, attracting the attention of United.

He revealed that he had talked to Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer before about a potential move.

"I've spoken to every manager who's been here at Man United to see what the situation was,"

Eriksen told ESPN.

"

But I was at Spurs at the time and I really couldn't see myself playing in another English team at that time. I went abroad and went to Inter.

"It's been on the books, well, not on the books but it's been spoken about. For me, it wasn't the [right] timing, it wasn't there and I was at a place at Spurs for a long time and I wanted to try something abroad, and I went to Inter and ended up having a lovely time.

"But then obviously something happened in the summer and that changed a bit the career path I had in mind, and then obviously to come back to Brentford first of all and then to be here is something I didn't think could happen a year ago."

With his great performances at Brentford, United offered a deal to acquire his services once again and

were also keen on penning him.

"It was only talk. They never really came with anything, so it wasn't really a thing for me to go back to Tottenham at the time and Man United were very early on, very positive and I had good conversations,"

he said.

"It was very positive from the first few phone calls already and the club felt like they wanted me, so it was on for a long time."
