'He can absolutely be far more than just a squad player for Manchester United – certainly this Manchester United.'
Christian Eriksen will be no Manchester United nice-guy benchwarmer; he’s brilliantManchester United fans seem underwhelmed by the signing of Christian Eriksen. They need to be reminded that he is proper good.They are a great big shambolic mess of a thing in at least 83 entirely separate and damaging ways and there remains the very real possibility – probability even – that it gets worse before it gets any better for a club that once squatted like a giant toad across English football.
But there’s just so much more context to both of these things. That context is pretty obvious, but both have been overlooked by large sections of the media. First, what Brentford did for Eriksen – while hugely and gloriously mutually beneficial – was also kind of a big deal. Being the first club to hand him a contract after the harrowing events of last summer was not something to be instantly dismissed the first time a bigger, shinier club came along with an offer.
It would be hard to find a more Premier League-proven 30-year-old free agent than Eriksen, who established himself as one of the league’s very best players during seven years at Spurs and then, mischievously perhaps more relevantly to United, showed he could still make just as much impact when surrounded by lesser players at Brentford.
