Eriksen wins Laureus Comeback of the Year award

Christian suffered a cardiac arrest while on duty for Denmark at Euro 2020 - a moment that made the world stop - and he has since made a truly remarkable recovery to play football at the highest level once more.

Our no.14 first returned to football in January 2022, following the fitting of a cardioverter-defibrillator, and impressed at Brentford in the second part of last season before moving to Old Trafford in the summer.

The 31-year-old has been a key player for Erik ten Hag this season, displaying his quality on the ball and dictating matches at will.
