Christian Eriksen is a shrewd signing for Man United and will work well under Erik ten Hag... he has a point to prove after a poor end to his Spurs career and mixed fortunes at Inter, while added competition may inspire out-of-sorts Bruno Fernandes

The clamour for Manchester United to sign Christian Eriksen gathered pace when Brentford visited Old Trafford in May - and that clamour has now become a reality.

While the match itself was largely meaningless and had a true end of season feel, Eriksen was arguably the best player on the park - even if his side were soundly beaten by United.

The 30-year-old showed he was still capable of playing at the top level, an incredible feat for someone who had suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch at Euro 2020, as he demonstrated his vision, wide array of passing and the ability to dictate from the middle of the pitch.
