Christian Eriksen is surpassing Gary Neville's expectations at Manchester United

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.
