Daft question - of course I'm aware. But I'm guessing he has had some sort of medical and sign off to return to football anyway, probably by a top consultant.
Privately as in not NHS, before people made jokes about hospital appointments
I don't see why we would delay announcing a deal when ETH wants him on tour asap.
Ok, fair enough. So I'm guessing he probably agreed to an outline deal and the finer points are now being discussed and contracts written up etc.
I’m not sure why it’s taking as long as it is but it doesn’t look in doubt.
I think we’d have heard something if so.
Maybe ease off on the day-dreaming, bro

If he returned to football based on medical at Brentford that doesnt mean United shouldnt do a medical of their own and be thorough about it.
Should someone be checking on him?
You can do it, the rest are on the other side of the world.
Why is this not done & dusted yet?
Medical completed. From Rob Dawson ESPN:
Sources have told ESPN that United are still hopeful Christian Eriksen will be able to join up in Australia.
The Denmark midfielder is set to sign a three-year contract following the completion of a thorough medical. Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest playing at the European Championships last summer and only returned to action with Brentford in January.

Doesn't say that the medical has been completed.
"following the completion of a thorough medical"
Do you think he's on the way to Australia and they want to announce it there?
Will likely be announced with the Away kit?
We missed a massive commercial trick with the home kit.

Yes, following it. Yet there is no indication that the thorough medical has taken place yet.
Wouldn't following imply that it's been done otherwise he should use "after" and "a medical is completed"?
@grammar experts
It could well be the case, or he could simply be stating the obvious. Contract to be signed following the completion of a medical.
No, in this instance following (using the gerund without an auxiliary verb) becomes just a synonym for 'after', and completion is a noun so doesn't place itself in time without a verb.
What does make things ambiguous is the use of the present tense 'is set to sign' rather than the future tense ('will sign'), but since 'is set to' only suggests a state of readiness, not a state of certain action, it doesn't clarify anything at all.
Basically, it's worded for deliberate ambiguity, but grammatically it does not state that the medical has definitely been completed. (It doesn't state it hasn't been completed either.)
Can we literally just get this midfield GOAT in the pre-season friendlies already?
What jersey number would he wear if he joins?
Are you suggesting that journalists/ITKs/social media tap in merchants are using clickbait tactics?
He's gonna score 40 and be our best defender next season.
Day drinking during annual leave is great.

Feck that I got COVID on my summer vacation.
10 points to Gryffindor
Love it.It's Wednesday noon, so I assume there really is something rotten in the state of Denmark.
This is getting cold now.
Nine days has passed since the "verbal agreement". Nine!
There is absolutely no legally or medicine stuff that can take so much time.
I think that Eriksen has got some hesitation - maybe some other club made him a proposal meantime and he is dragging this out.
Time to get him to the bloody hospital with force if needed!
Or if these legendary medicals has passed - sign the fckin contract!

We’re probably doing it the cheap way and getting them done on the NHS
He should get an appointment date for a pre-medical consultation sometime within the next two years.
I think its even worse, I think hes suggesting that they have some grasp of grammar and tense which clearly renders the rest of their post laughable.
We certainly do things "thoroughly", don't we.
So, where's he going to play?
Brentford
on the pitch. Seriously he's going to be Bruno's cover
And Donny?
I hope this gets wrapped up soon, we really need the new additions on the preseason tour.
Water boy.
If everything goes according to plan then u doubt it. I think that Eriksen will provide a calming effect as opposed to bruno directness . We seem to forget that eriksen is a 30 year old player who never excelled at a top club and who has cardiac issues. I doubt we will play him week in week out
