“I have played with the likes of Ramos, Pepe and others but this my particular Man United’s teammate is better than them combined… He’s young but I’m learning alot from him”: Casemiro says Man United has a particular defender who’s better than Sergio Ramos and Pepe Combined
Christian Eriksen played his role in successive wins for Manchester United as Erik ten Hag’s side thrashed Barnsley in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.
Eriksen, who looked to be out of favour going into the season at Old Trafford, was a surprise inclusion in the starting lineup against Southampton last Saturday, though Ten Hag’s decision turned out to be the correct one with the midfielder putting in a strong display.
Eriksen is out of contract at United next summer, and was linked with a move away in the transfer window though admits no decision has been made yet on his future.
He said: “I feel very good at United. If they told me to leave I would leave but I didn’t hear that.”
Kobbie Mainoo has been an ever present in the side since impressing last season, and with United completing the signing of Manuel Ugarte on deadline day, Eriksen looked to be frozen out, though he has taken his opportunities so far this campaign.
Prior to joining United, Eriksen enjoyed a six-month spell at Brentford on his return to football, and England seems a place where he is settled having been such a prominent figure for Spurs for such a long time under Mauricio Pochettino.
“I’m a guy who likes being in a place where my family is settled and at the same time being in a place where I can benefit and play, that’s always going to be my aim.”
