Manchester United were active on the transfer deadline day by finalising a transfer for Manuel Ugarte.
Christian Eriksen was one of the few players who failed to secure an Old Trafford exit despite being tipped with a move to Ajax.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Ajax did not make a formal offer for the Danish international.
However, La Liga outfit Real Betis made a daring play on deadline day, but the two parties did not reach an agreement.
With just one year remaining in his current deal, Eriksen could leave the club as a free agent next summer.
Eriksen has had a good career but is past his prime. He still has exceptional vision and precise passing ability.
He can unlock the opposition’s defence on his day by playing line-breaking passes and through balls.
However, his accuracy has decreased over the last two seasons. The 32-year-old lacks the stamina and pace needed in the Premier League.
His defensive work rate is not good enough to start in a midfield pivot. Eriksen often leaves gaps, which helps opponents bypass United’s midfield with ease.
A move to La Liga would have been perfect for Eriksen due to his fine technical skills.
He is currently earning a hefty £150,000 per week. Betis would have found it challenging to match or offer an increase to the Danish star.
