Seluruh pihak di Manchester United menyambut baik kabar terkini dari Denmark terkait kondisi Christian Eriksen.
Klub mengirimkan doa dan dukungan untuk Christian serta keluarga Eriksen sambil menantikan kabar selanjutnya.
🚨 Éderson was woken up this Sunday with a series of calls from the CBF staff, informing him that he had been chosen by Carlo Ancelotti and that he needed to catch a flight as quickly as possible to the United States.
The midfielder was in Campo Grande, the capital of Mato Grosso do Sul, to attend the wedding of Rômulo, a defensive midfielder with whom he had played at Cruzeiro.
Éderson packed his bags and headed to the airport to start the trip to the United States, with an expected arrival in the early morning of this Monday.

Everybody at Manchester United is encouraged by Denmark’s update on Christian Eriksen following today’s abandoned friendly against Ukraine.
The club is sending strength and love to Christian and the Eriksen family as we await further news.
BUA publicly detailed how Dangote blocked him from building his first sugar refinery factory at Tincan Island port in Lagos.
They approached Usman Dantata , Aliko Dangote’s uncle, and leased his NPA waterfront land (4.5 hectares) at the Tincan Island port, ‘Polo House’.
Then they took the land, signed an agreement with the consent of Nigerian Ports Authority, and paid all applicable dues.
Dangote waited until BUA's contractors and equipment were to be mobilised to the site, and then he went to former President Obasanjo.
President Obasanjo had the land revoked entirely. The president, in turn, gave the lease to Dangote. As a result, even his uncle lost the land. BUA was only given 24 hours to vacate the land.
BUA secured the alternative land directly from Abdul Samad Rabiu’s late father (Khalifah Isyaku Rabiu), who gifted it to them.
Today, the sugar refinery still remains operational on that land.
Brighton bought a teenager for about £4m and sold him to Chelsea for £115m. The man running the club is a professional gambler. This week he did it again, paying £21.5m for an 18-year-old from the Swedish league.
The gambler is Tony Bloom. Before football, he made his money at the poker table and in sports betting, where the whole skill is spotting something priced too low and betting big on it. He bought Brighton and ran it the same way.
Caicedo is the one everyone remembers. Brighton signed Moisés Caicedo from a club in Ecuador for about £4m and sold him to Chelsea two seasons later for £115m, the most a British club had ever paid for a player at the time. Marc Cucurella cost £15m and left for Chelsea at £62m. Liverpool paid £35m for Alexis Mac Allister, a £7m buy from Argentina. João Pedro went the same way last summer, £30m in and up to £60m out, also to Chelsea. Same move every time. Buy a kid cheap, give him a season or two to get good, then sell him to a giant at the peak of his price.
The trick is that Brighton barely guesses. Bloom owns a sports-betting company, and the club runs a private piece of software that scans players across the planet and flags the ones going for less than they are worth, usually teenagers in leagues the big clubs cannot be bothered to watch, in places like Ecuador, Argentina, Japan and now Sweden. They look for the position they need anywhere on earth, plan a year or two ahead, and have a cheap replacement ready before the star is even sold. In late 2024 they let go of most of their human scouts and leaned on the computer instead.
And it works. Brighton made the biggest profit any club has ever posted in the Premier League, around £123m in a single year, and the Caicedo money had not even come in yet. They pulled it off with the 13th-biggest wage bill in the league and one of the cheapest squads in it.
Chelsea alone have now handed Brighton about £237m for Caicedo, Cucurella and João Pedro. They are paying for the very machine that keeps beating them. And two of the four clubs Brighton held off to sign that Swedish kid this week were Chelsea and Newcastle.
So an 18-year-old from Stockholm, bought for £21.5m, is just the next chip on the gambler's table. If the pattern holds, some giant pays over £100m for him in a few years, and Brighton starts the whole thing again with the winnings.
