"I didn't want to go" - Christian Eriksen addresses previous Manchester United snub

Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen has opened up on signing for the Reds, admitting that everything is 'bigger' than it has been at his previous clubs.

The Danish midfielder arrived at Old Trafford on a free transfer after his short-term contract at Brentford ended in June. He returned to football last season with the Bees after having an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) fitted following his cardiac arrest at last summer's Euros.

Eriksen has impressed since joining Erik ten Hag's side, with the 30-year-old making 19 appearances for the Reds, registering five assists. The midfielder quickly became a first-choice option for the Dutchman and has performed well alongside Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes in recent weeks.
