Christian Eriksen already fulfilling Erik ten Hag prediction after Man Utd cameo

Christian Eriksen has not taken long to live up to his billing at Manchester United, making a strong impression in his first appearances for his new club.

The Danish playmaker, 30, joined the Red Devils on a free transfer this summer, signing a three-year contract at Old Trafford.
