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. He brings a wealth of creative pedigree after brilliant spells with Tottenham and Inter Milan, and has forged a remarkable route back to top-level football after suffering a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.
It is easy to understand why his arrival at United has been met with plenty of excitement and he impressed on his first outing, scoring a free kick in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Wrexham in midweek. Eriksen was given his first run-out in front of fans on Saturday, coming off the bench against Atletico Madrid in Oslo, Norway.
