Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand said Christian Eriksen's confidence and quality on the ball reminds him of Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick.

Eriksen played an instrumental role in United's win over Arsenal as he demonstrated his impressive passing range and close control in midfield.

Erik ten Hag brought the former Ajax man in this summer in an attempt to bolster his side's creativity and control in the middle of the park.

The Dane provided Marcus Rashford with the simplest of tap-ins following a perfectly timed run from the midfield, as United carved open Arsenal's defence to make it 3-1.
