Christian Eriksen enjoyed a brilliant return to the starting line-up in Sunday's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest, especially considering he was only informed of his role minutes before kick-off.
Manchester United's injury crisis worsened in the warm-up at the City Ground when Marcel Sabitzer felt a minor issue, the Austrian was due to start alongside Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes. And so it came to pass that Eriksen was back in for the first time since picking up an ankle injury in January.
The Dane had come off the bench against Everton and Sevilla, but on Sunday was handed the chance to influence proceedings from the start, consistently finding space between the Forest lines and dictating the pace of the game.
