Man Utd players should keep on running - Eriksen

believes that

showed that they can compete with the best teams in the Premier League after their victory over

at Old Trafford.

On Monday night, the Red Devils were able to win 2-1 against their old rivals at Old Trafford, while they had suffered defeats in their previous two meetings in the Premier League against Brighton and Brentford. With Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo left out of the starting line-up, Jaden Sancho and Marcus Rashford scored to give the Red Devils their first three points under Erik ten Hag. United had only 29.6% of possession during the game and their passing accuracy was 65.93%.

Asked what was the difference between Brentford and Liverpool game, Eriksen said:

 "I think our intensity compared to the Brentford game [was the biggest difference].

"Obviously, we made a few mistakes against them that gave them the advantage and [against Liverpool] we started on the front foot and were the better team in the first half."

He added: 

"We have some very quick players and how we played today, and how Liverpool play, suited us as well. It's great to play with players who want to play football and run."
