Christian Eriksen's start to life at Manchester United has been nothing short of superb.
The Dane has comfortably settled into the 'shuttle' role in midfield that Erik ten Hag was desperately craving during the summer transfer window. His tireless pursuit of Frenkie de Jong showed that the Dutch coach was fully aware of what was needed at United.
Missing out on De Jong was the first real hammer blow for Ten Hag at Old Trafford. As good as Eriksen has been, at the age of 30, he is not a suitable long-term solution to the midfield problem.
