Yari Verschaeren expressed he wasn’t concerned about Anderlecht’s pursuit of Christian Eriksen, despite the midfielder’s final contract year at Manchester United.

Joshua Zirkzee is viewed as a dream signing for Juventus, but Manchester United may need to acknowledge their mistake in acquiring him.
