Christian Eriksen says he can't wait to work under Erik ten Hag after he was confirmed as Manchester United's second signing of the summer.
The 30-year-old has agreed to a three-year deal and arrives on a free transfer after his short-term Brentford contract expired at the end of June.
Eriksen is expected to play a back-up role to Bruno Fernandes next season, though he also has experience playing out wide and as a deep-lying playmaker in recent years.
