Outgoing star Christian Eriksen has said that 'should call' if he gets the Tottenham job. Eriksen will be a free agent at the start of July and he is still highly thought of in north London, having spent seven years with Spurs earlier in his career.

The midfielder also has experience of working with Frank, having spent the second half of the 2021/22 season with , who took a successful punt on him following his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020. And Eriksen believes that former club Tottenham are about to make the right decision by appointing his fellow Dane.

: "I think [Frank] is the right coach for . I have had Thomas at various times, and I think he is the perfect match for , and it would be great if Thomas takes on that challenge.

"His personality, his way of playing, his way of being. And the club considering where they were last season - they won a trophy of course - but they are in the process of building something up, and I am sure that Thomas is a good man to bring in."

Asked if he's heading back to , Eriksen said: "No, not where we are now, so Thomas should call if something happens." And when pushed on whether he had already spoken to Frank, he smiled: "No, no, no."

United confirmed that Eriksen will leave Old Trafford this summer in the squad update they published earlier this week. The Danish international scored on his final appearance, converting a penalty in the 2-0 win over Aston Villa on the final day of the season.

Eriksen surpassed a century of appearances for the Red Devils, and racked up more than 300 games at Spurs, where he played the best football of his career between 2013 and 2020.

Despite the obvious links connecting Eriksen, Frank and , and his cheeky phone call request, the playmaker himself recently made it clear that he would prioritise opportunities away from the Premier League.

He explained: "I feel like I've taken my turn in the Premier League, so I'm looking outside the English borders. It has been a great place for me and my family, and we have been there for many years.

"When I moved from to Inter, it wasn't my plan to go back to England either. After that I've been there for three-and-a-half years again, so you should never say never. But my priority is that I have to leave."

Frank is due to be unveiled by imminently after an agreement was struck to bring assistant Justin Cochrane with him. Chris Haslam and Joe Newton will also join them to form part of the backroom team.
