Erik ten Hag breaks silence on Christian Eriksen transfer and Man Utd "advantage"

Erik ten Hag believes Christian Eriksen will give Manchester United an "advantage" this season after the Denmark international joined the club on a free transfer last week.

The 30-year-old has penned a three year contract at the Red Devils after impressing during a short-term 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 at the Bees.

United fought off stiff competition from Tottenham Hotspur and Brentford for his signature, while Leicester City were interested in the player. Eriksen has also won league titles at Ajax and Inter Milan and Ten Hag insists his experience will be vital as the Red Devils look to compete in multiple competitions.
