Former Manchester United centre-back Wes Brown highlighted Christian Eriksen’s impact on the team.
The Danish midfielder has been a revelation since he arrived this summer.
Eriksen is gradually becoming the most important player in Erik ten Hag’s team, especially considering how United play.
Ten Hag deploys the 30-year-old as a controller in midfield, almost a traveling six.
Speaking to 888 Sport, Brown discussed how Eriksen is precisely the kind of player that United miss.
“I didn’t know Eriksen ran so much, but he does. And he is the player that United have missed a little bit and that is not hitting Fred or Scott.
“He’s always on the half turn and ready to receive the ball.”

“He is different from Bruno even though many say they are similar.”
“Bruno will go for that magic ball, and you want him to, but in those deeper positions, Eriksen is comfortable with little one-twos, and there’s more fluidity.”

“He knows when to turn and when to set it up the first time.”
“We’ve missed that, and he has leveled the ship in that regard.”
“When he has time, he also chooses the right pass.”
