Manchester United ace Christian Eriksen issues update after suffering nasty-looking eye injury

The 31-year-old, who joined United on a free transfer almost a year ago, has linked up with his international colleagues ahead of Denmark's upcoming European Championship qualifiers. They face Northern Ireland at home on Friday night before travelling to Ljubljana to face Slovenia away from home on Monday.
