Christian Eriksen has no regrets about swapping Manchester United for Wolfsburg, despite finding himself in a relegation battle for the first time in his career. The Danish midfielder moved to the Bundesliga in the summer and is now fighting to keep his new club in Germany's top flight.
Wolfsburg are currently hovering just above the relegation zone on goal difference, a far cry from the title-winning side they were earlier this century. Eriksen's side have endured humbling defeats, including an 8-1 thrashing at Bayern Munich.
The 32-year-old, who has won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup with United and played in a Champions League final, admitted he would rather be winning but is embracing the challenge. "I can handle it! Of course, you'd rather be on the winning team. But that doesn't always work out," he said.
Eriksen's move to Germany was driven by a desire for regular playing time, which was not guaranteed at Old Trafford. "Yes, football is fun. I wanted to play football, and I'm doing that here," he added.
Wolfsburg have not been in the second tier since 1997 and finished in the top four as recently as 2021. Now, they face a battle to avoid the relegation play-off spot.
