United's free transfer signings

Every pre-season game, including Tuesday's match against Crystal Palace, will be shown live in the Man Utd App and on ManUtd.com.

Manchester United confirmed the signing of Christian Eriksen on a free transfer on Friday, with the Dane agreeing a three-year contract.

The midfielder's short-term deal with Brentford expired in the summer.

Although the landscape changed with the advent of the Bosman ruling in 1995, meaning players can move freely if not tied down to a deal at their clubs, there have not been that many instances of first-team recruits at Old Trafford on this basis.
