Red Devils summer signing Christian Eriksen is part of Denmark's World Cup team and has featured in their two group-stage matches. He played in their opening goalless draw with Tunisia which saw them pick just one point.

The second game yesterday ended in a loss to defending champions France, after a frantic and entertaining game from both ends. Eriksen was the driving force of the Danish attack but was unable to inspire them to a win as they crumbled at Mbappe's brilliance for France.

WHAT NEXT FOR ERIKSEN AND DENMARK?

With two games played and one point got, Eriksen and the Danes have it all to play for in their final group D game against Australia. Eriksen has to ensure that Denmark takes all three points in that game for his national team to qualify for the next round of the competition.
