Manchester United playmaker Christian Eriksen says he enjoys playing a deeper midfield role as his career heads towards its twilight years.
The 31-year-old has dropped further back in Erik ten Hag’s system at Old Trafford, much like he did at Brentford prior to his switch, having previously operated as an attacking midfielder.
Eriksen still managed to bag 10 assists and two goals from the position this season and has been roundly praised by United fans for his impact. The player himself says the role change was a natural progression and that he is liking the new challenge.
