Christian Eriksen sends his shot across the goalkeeper with a beautiful strike to open the scoring against FC Twente.
The Denmark international has the Reds off and running and it’s a goal United needed as we’ve dominated early phases of the game.
However, we had nothing to show for it up until Eriksen’s opener which came from a stunning strike from an angle.
United’s pressure paid off as the ball fell kindly to Eriksen inside the area, with the Dane smashing home into the top corner.
