Scholes praises Eriksen for his impact on Man Utd
Another amazing display from the Denmark international left Paul Scholes pleased with what he had brought to the Red Devils.
Christian Eriksen
has been performing impressively for
Manchester United, according to
Paul Scholes
, the club great.
The Dane made a move to Old Trafford on a free transfer as he restarted his career at Brentford after departing Inter following his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020. He has been in the starting XI in every game under Erik ten Hag.
The former Nerazzurri player has emerged as a creative player and performed amazingly on Sunday.
An assist, three crucial passes and 33 successful passes saw United secure a 3-1 win.
"Forwards know when the ball's coming, they know they've got a midfield player who is thinking about them even before the ball comes," he said on how Eriksen lifts United's attack.
"They know he's watching, he's looking all the time. He's always scanning the pitch and he's only thinking about going forward. I can't tell you how important that is as a number 10 and as a wide player.
"If you don't have that and you have the players that we've had playing in there who are always facing backwards and going backwards, their movement's a waste of time, so whatever movement they do it doesn't matter.
"You see Bruno [Fernandes], who's so clever to get in those spaces behind the midfield and in front of the back four, but you need someone to find him.
"Christian Eriksen has certainly got that. For a number 10 to have any kind of influence on a football game then they need a midfield player of that kind of quality."
