United confirmed the signing of free agent Eriksen on a three-year deal on Friday, with the Denmark international pinpointing new boss Erik ten Hag as a key reason behind his decision to move to Old Trafford.

Eriksen, best known for his seven years at Spurs, has been out of contract since the end of June after his six-month stay at Brentford came to an end following his sensational recovery from a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 last summer.

‘We’ve been missing some creativity, this guy has got creativity,’ he told United’s website. ‘Whoever’s playing up front needs to make the run, he will find you.
