Christian Eriksen was unbelievably good for Denmark during their 2-0 win over France.
The Dane signed for Manchester United as a free agent this summer after his contract expired at Brentford. There was a race to get his signature involving other Premier League clubs, but he decided to join Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.
We have already seen United’s midfield transform for the better since his arrival, after several man of the match displays and a player of the month award to show for it.
This was the case again last night when Denmark beat France in the Nations League.
Christian Eriksen’s game by numbers vs. France:
100% dribbles completed
84% pass accuracy
80 touches
9/16 crosses completed
8 key passes
4/7 ground duels won
2/3 long balls completedAbsolute genius. 🎩 pic.twitter.com/fKaSh4h7tI

Christian Eriksen dropped a playmaking clinic on Les Bleus in Copenhagen. The Danish No. 10 created 8 chances against the French, outclassing Tchouaméni, Camavinga and Fofana on a ground where he nearly lost his life just a year ago. Ultimate respect to a titan of the game 🇩🇰 pic.twitter.com/umBEdznhJs

Eriksen was heavily involved in both goals after showcasing his sublime range of passing.
United fans will be hoping Eriksen doesn’t suffer with fatigue when he returns because he will be thrown straight into the Manchester derby.
You could tell by the reactions on social media last night that he is already a favourite amongst the fans.
I’ve seen the light. Christian Eriksen is the best midfielder in the world. pic.twitter.com/PKlCiVG3ZJ
