Erik ten Hag already knew that Eriksen was going to be Man Utd's most important player

The 30-year-old Danish player was one of Dutch manager Erik ten Hag's most sought-after free agent additions, but when he arrived he did not have the fan expectation that £225 million had been spent on signings, which took the sporting media spotlight, and even more talk of what would happen to players already in the Manchester United squad.

The midfielder returned to a good level during his time at Brentford, and after his heart attack last year, there were doubts about the continuity of his professional career, and it was a tough time for him at Euro2020. First he survived the heart attack, then he recovered and played football again, and now he is an indispensable part of Erik ten Hag's playing system, even playing every game when he is available.
