What Erik ten Hag has asked Christian Eriksen to do in Manchester United midfield

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Erik ten Hag believes Bruno Fernandes is benefitting from Christian Eriksen's presence in the Manchester United midfield this season.

The duo have started all six of United's Premier League games this term and after Eriksen's false start as a false nine against Brighton, they have developed a good understanding in midfield.

Eriksen was involved in all three of the goals in the win against Arsenal on Sunday, turning in a man-of-the-match performance, and he's played more minutes than any other new signing this season.

Ten Hag is delighted with how the pair are linking up and the goal threat they are giving United. "Bruno Fernandes gets support [from Christian], he can also pass the final ball, receive the final ball, the togetherness they really suit together," said the United boss.
