Christian Dannemann Eriksen (Danish pronunciation: [\u02c8k\u02b0\u0281\u025bs.tj\u00e6n \u02c8e\u02d0.\u0281\u025bg.s\u0259n]; born 14 February 1992) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club Manchester United and the Denmark national team. He is his country's most capped player and fourth-highest all-time goalscorer, and was named Danish Football Player of the Year a record five times. \n

Eriksen began his senior club career at age 18 in 2010, playing for Ajax, where he won three Eredivisie titles and the KNVB Cup. In 2013, Eriksen signed for Tottenham Hotspur in a transfer worth \u00a311 million (\u20ac12.45 million), where he was twice named the club's Player of the Year, was voted into the 2017\u201318 PFA Team of the Year, and later also reached the 2019 UEFA Champions League final. In 2020, Eriksen joined Inter Milan in a transfer worth \u20ac19.7 million (\u00a316.9 million), and won a Serie A title.\n

During a UEFA Euro 2020 match on 12 June 2021, Eriksen collapsed on the pitch after suffering a cardiac arrest; he was given cardiopulmonary resuscitation and was later fitted with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. He returned to football eight months later with a move to Premier League club Brentford, before transferring to Manchester United the following season.\n

Eriksen made his senior international debut for Denmark in 2010 at age 18, and has since earned 140 caps, including appearing in six major tournaments; he was also the youngest player at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.^{[nb 1]}\n
