Eriksen spent nearly seven seasons with Spurs between 2013-2020 and made more than 300 appearances for the club. During that period, Manchester United had four managers - David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. "At Spurs I've spoken to every manager who's been here at Manchester United to see what the situation was," Eriksen told reporters."For me, it wasn't the timing. I was 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."
