Christian Eriksen sets Nations League record as Man Utd ace stars in France win

Christian Eriksen is looking more and more like the bargain of the season.

Manchester United signed the 30-year-old midfielder on a free transfer after his contract with Brentford expired, and he's going from strength to strength for club and country. After scoring a screamer of a consolation goal in Denmark 's 2-1 defeat to Croatia last Thursday, Eriksen returned to Copenhagen on Sunday to help the Danes beat France 2-0 in their final Nations League group game.

While the silky playmaker wasn't directly involved in setting up either of Kasper Dolberg and Andreas Skov Olsen's first-half strikes, Eriksen played a key role in the build-up and was a constant threat to a youthful French side. So much so, the former Tottenham Hotspur and Inter Milan star set a new record for the 2022-23 Nations League campaign.
