Christian Eriksen has been labelled as a 'squad player' by former Liverpool star Danny Murphy as his transfer to Manchester United edges closer.
The midfielder was exceptional for Brentford last season after the Bees gave the Dane a chance following his release from Inter Milan, as a device fitted to prevent further heart issues was not allowed under Serie A ruling. But Eriksen repaid Brentford for putting their faith in the midfielder, and elite European clubs have circled ever since.
it appears that United have won the race for Eriksen, after both Tottenham, Newcastle and Brentford to his signature. But Murphy believes that Eriksen is not "world-class", and sees him as nothing short of a squad player.
