Christian Eriksen warned he has "no chance" of fitting into Man Utd XI after transfer

Danny Murphy fears Christian Eriksen is going to struggle to make Manchester United's starting XI if Erik ten Hag opts to play Bruno Fernandes from the off.

The Denmark international, 30, completed his move to Old Trafford on a free transfer last week, becoming the Red Devils' second summer signing following the arrival of Tyrell Malacia. This was followed by the announcement that Lisandro Martinez has agreed to join the club from Ajax in a deal worth around £55million.

Eriksen has penned a three-year contract with the Red Devils after impressing during a short spell at Brentford last term, where he scored once and chipped in with four assists in 11 matches. It has been just over a year since Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, but the midfielder is raring to continue his progress following a highly-successful six months with the Bees.
