Ten Hag: Man Utd strikers will be grateful for Eriksen signing

announced on Friday they have signed

as a free again on a three-year contract. Eriksen joined Brentford last January on a short-term contract and scored once and assisted four times in 11 appearances.

"He's an experienced player. He plays in countries abroad, in Italy, in Holland, a long time in England, so he knows the Premier League,"

Ten Hag told United's official website.

"It's an absolute advantage that we have him in. I think he is a magnificent football player and I think the fans will enjoy watching him.

"He's creative and he has ideas. I think especially our strikers will also be happy because he's the one who can involve them in the game.

"The fact that we've got him, we have him now in our squad, tells everything, because I think we were really selective.

"It was not the point to get players in, but the right players in. I'm really happy that we succeeded with Christian Eriksen.”

United on Sunday announced they have reached an agreement with Ajax over the transfer of defender

.

Ten Hag has explained what United supporters can expect to see from Argentina international.

"He's a warrior and I think the fans will admire him. He has an attitude, a fighting spirit. He brings aggressiveness to the game, in a good way. I think we need that. But he's also skillful and he can deal with the ball, and he's also left-footed.

"I think the Premier League is high intensity, lots of challenges. We need such players [with fighting spirit].

"Certain ideas, he knows them. That is an advantage, clearly. But also he has to adapt, to a new country, a new club, and new team-mates. So also a lot of things will be different."
