Renowned football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Manchester United has officially parted ways with three senior players: Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans, and Victor Lindelöf. The trio exits Old Trafford as free agents following the expiration of their contracts.
Romano shared the update on his official social media channels, stating: “Official: Christian Eriksen, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelöf leave Man United as free agents.” The decision marks a significant shift in United’s defensive and midfield setup.
Christian Eriksen joined United in the summer of 2022 on a free transfer after an impressive stint at Brentford. The Danish midfielder brought creativity and composure to the Red Devils’ midfield, but injuries and increased competition for places limited his impact in the 2023/24 season.
Veteran defender Jonny Evans, who returned to the club on a short-term deal, proved to be a reliable backup option, often stepping in during injury crises. His experience was valuable, but the club has opted not to extend his stay.
Victor Lindelöf, meanwhile, spent eight seasons at Manchester United after signing from Benfica in 2017. The Swedish international made over 200 appearances for the club and played under multiple managers. His departure is seen as part of United’s broader defensive overhaul.
The exit of these three players clears up space on the wage bill and signals an upcoming wave of transfers as United prepares for a crucial 2025/26 season. Fans now await announcements on potential signings and further squad changes.
With Romano’s confirmation, it is clear that Manchester United is entering a new chapter, bidding farewell to three respected professionals.
