Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen is surpassing the expectations Gary Neville had of him so far this season.
The 30-year-old has started all five of United's matches in the Premier League including the victory over Leicester City on Thursday. Following his struggles during United's loss to Brentford in the second game of the season, Eriksen has improved with the Dane quickly becoming one of the first names on the United teamsheet.
His good performances on the pitch may not surprise Neville too much having recommended a top six club should make a move for him. However, when he did so, Neville appeared to suggest Eriksen would be a useful squad player for a top side, rather than a guaranteed starter.
