The Danish midfielder was let go by United in the summer upon the expiration of his contract, and there were reports earlier in the window that he had turned down a bold approach from Championship side Wrexham.

Now, the former Spurs and Brentford man will make the switch to Germany, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Danish journalist Farzam Abolhosseini reported that Peter Christiansen, Wolfsburg’s managing director, had played a key role in luring his compatriot to the Bundesliga.

Eriksen featured 35 times in all competitions for United last term, but his playing time was hampered when Ruben Amorim took over the reins from Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.

The 33-year-old was an unused substitute in United’s two Europa League semi-final legs against Athletic Bilbao, as well as the final defeat by Tottenham at the San Mames.

He scored five goals and added six assists for the Red Devils last season.
