Eriksen enjoyed a great spell at Brentford during the latter half of last season as he returned to football after his Euro 2020 collapse.
The Dane’s arrival helped the Bees avoid a mid-season dip and ultimately ensured a comfortable survival in their first Premier League campaign.
Eriksen only signed a short-term deal until the end of the season and despite being offered an extended contract that would make him the highest-paid player in the club’s history, the former Tottenham player instead opted to sign for free to join Manchester United. Handover.
The 30-year-old enjoyed a scorching return as United were hammered 4-0 at Brentford on Saturday afternoon, with the midfielder booed and chanted with chants of “You only went for the money”.
“I understand fans, how they can react,” said Frank. “Personally, I think as a club we have to show class, respect and integrity in every action we do. That’s what I try to do every day.
“I think we have to remember that it wasn’t every fan who did it. But I think every player who comes back – it doesn’t have to be a Christian, it could be Neal Maupay or Ollie Watkins – the first time we have to applaud them when their names are read.
“Of course there’s the banter when you can sing a little bit, but boo a player? That’s not class, that’s not me. If fans want that, I won’t say it’s right, but I would never do it.”
