Summer signing Christian Eriksen already feels at home at Manchester United and cannot wait for his first taste of the city's derby this Sunday.

After a pair of postponements following the Queen's death, Erik ten Hag's side will make the short trip to neighbours Manchester City to play their first Premier League match since September 4.

United are looking for a fifth consecutive Premier League win as they kick-off a hectic month, with Ten Hag's side playing nine matches as they juggle domestic and continental exertions as the World Cup break looms.
