Comparing Christian Eriksen’s stats to Man Utd’s other midfielders

Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Christian Eriksen on a free transfer but how does his 2021-22 Premier League stats compare to the other midfielders at Erik ten Hag’s disposal?

Eriksen came through Ajax’s academy and spent six-and-a-half years in the Premier League with Tottenham before moving to Inter Milan in January 2020.

The Denmark international won the Serie A title in 2020-21 but his contract was terminated by mutual agreement following his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.

After making a full recovery, he returned to England with Brentford in January 2022 and made a huge impact during his six-month spell at the club but has decided to join United on a three-year deal.

“Manchester United is a special club, and I cannot wait to get started,” Eriksen said after his move was completed. “I have had the privilege of playing at Old Trafford many times but to do it in the red shirt of United will be an amazing feeling.

While John Murtough, United’s football director, said: “Christian has been one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe throughout his career. It is no surprise that he had so many options this summer, so we are really happy that he was convinced that this is the right club for him.

“In addition to his outstanding technique, Christian will add valuable experience and leadership skills to the squad, and we are looking forward to seeing the benefits of these qualities on the pitch this coming season and beyond.”

Eriksen is United’s second signing of the summer, following the arrival of Tyrell Malacia, as Ten Hag looks to reshape a side that endured a disapointing 2021-22 season.
