Christian Eriksen has informed Erik ten Hag that he is not satisfied with his limited role at Manchester United this season.

It comes as wages have jumped after consumer prices rose. In 2016, the bank cut the rate below zero in an attempt to stimulate the country’s stagnating economy.

They have been used by several countries…
