Manchester United have completed the signing of Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen on a free transfer.
The former Ajax, Tottenham, Inter Milan and Brentford player has signed a three-year contract at Old Trafford.
“I still have major ambitions in the game. There is a huge amount that I know I can achieve, and this is the perfect place to continue my journey,” Eriksen, 30, said.
“Manchester United is a special club, and I cannot wait to get started.”
Earlier in July, Eriksen agreed in principle to sign for United after his short-term contract at Brentford ended in June.
He is United’s second signing under new manager Erik ten Hag after Netherlands full-back Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord.
Eriksen, who returned to football after having an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) fitted following his cardiac arrest at last summer’s Euros, could have returned to Brentford.
He joined the Bees in January after being released by Inter Milan because players who have an ICD fitted are not allowed to play in Serie A.
In addition, his former club Tottenham were interested in re-signing him this summer.
But Eriksen, who signed for Spurs in 2013, opted for United after talks with Ten Hag.
