In July 2012, English club Chelsea recruited Christensen as a scout, whilst he was still employed at Brøndby. A subsequent 2018 investigation by Football Leaks and Danish newspaper Politiken revealed there was no evidence Christensen performed any scouting duties whilst employed at the club on an £11,400 per month salary. Christensen left Brøndby at the end of 2018.
