In your biggest games, you need your biggest players to stand up and make the difference. Christian Eriksen is doing that already for Manchester United.

The 30-year-old has had a seismic impact at United since his summer arrival and, in the space of six games, he has already established himself as just about the most influential player under Erik ten Hag.

His performance against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon was the highlight of his short United career so far, though it was a display that showed exactly why his time at the club could be a long one full of success.

The Denmark international finished the match with the most touches of any United player, the most passes completed, the most chances created and did so while covering a staggering 11.2km of ground as well.
