In Erik ten Hag’s first competitive game in the Old Trafford dugout, Eriksen started in the centre-forward position. Then against Brentford, the gaffer played the 30-year-old as the pivot in the middle of the park.
United lost the first two fixtures of the 2022/23 campaign. However, Ten Hag tweaked with the team against Liverpool and has seemed to have found the winning formula.
Eriksen has mostly played in the number eight position. The Danish national has contributed in all the areas of the pitch with his creativity and will to track back.
The 30-year-old has been an ever-present in the gaffer’s plans this season. Eriksen has started every game the Red Devils have played. The Danish national has slotted straight into Ten Hag’s team.
