Manchester United ace Christian Eriksen names his two footballing idols

Manchester United star Christian Eriksen has revealed that Italian legend Francesco Totti and Danish icon Michael Laudrup were the two football heroes that he looked up to most when growing up.

Eriksen has been at the heart of United's midfield creativity since his move to Old Trafford in the summer. Erik ten Hag has turned to the Danish international for every single match this season across all competitions, apart from a 0-0 draw against Newcastle where he was unavailable through illness.

The Dane has settled into life at his new club remarkably quickly, already providing six assists, with Eriksen getting his first goal for United against Fulham in the final game before the World Cup. The 30-year-old has now turned his attention to helping his nation go as far as possible in Qatar.
