No billboard was required to welcome Christian Eriksen to Manchester. The first time Eriksen surfaced in the city as a United player he was clutching an umbrella as he strolled down Deansgate.
An umbrella and a temporary stay at The Lowry has become a rite of passage for any new United signing and Eriksen, their oldest outfield arrival in the summer, was the designated driver for two other incomings in his first week at the club.
Eriksen ferried Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia to Carrington for some training sessions but his teammates now have the keys to their own vehicles. Eriksen has since reverted from a familial Audi Q7 to his sporty Porsche.
