Christian Eriksen has insisted that one Manchester United star “fits in well” at Old Trafford and tipped him to have a bright future under manager Ruben Amorim.
The 33-year-old Danish midfielder is out of contract in the summer and Christian Eriksen is tipped to make his Manchester United exit at the end of the season.
Eriksen has become surplus to requirements at Old Trafford and the former Ajax and Tottenham ace has fallen down the United pecking order under Ruben Amorim.
The United star has managed 22 appearances across all competitions for the Red Devils in the 2024-25 campaign and he has netted four times and registered four assists.
Eriksen has been at Old Trafford since 2022 after he left Brentford and completed a free transfer move to the Red Devils under former United manager Erik ten Hag.
Eriksen’s prediction for Man Utd star
Speaking to Manchester United’s official website, Christian Eriksen opened up on what to expect from club and international teammate Patrick Dorgu at Old Trafford.
Patrick Dorgu was Ruben Amorim’s major signing in the January window and the 20-year-old Danish wing-back arrived from Serie A outfit Lecce in February.
United agreed a deal worth £25m for the Denmark full-back, who can play on both wings, with a potential £4.1m included in add-ons for Dorgu.
Dorgu fits Amorim’s tactical system at United and the former Lecce star has made four appearances for the Red Devils since his move from the Italian club.
The United wing-back has impressed at times for the Red Devils, but Dorgu did pick up his first red card for the club in Wednesday’s 3-2 win over Ipswich Town.
Eriksen has insisted that Dorgu is the real deal and claimed that the Denmark international has already shown his quality after the 2-2 draw against Everton.
“I think you’ve seen already what he can bring,” he said.
“He’s an athletic full-back and a good player on the ball that likes to go forward. And yeah, he’s a very nice guy. There’s not many Danish guys who aren’t nice guys!
“I think he fits in well. He has to get used to everything in the Prem and at this club, but he’s in good hands and I think he’ll do really well.”
Eriksen talks Dorgu and Hojlund
Patrick Dorgu has linked up with Denmark teammates Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund at United and has regularly featured under Amorim at the Red Devils.
Eriksen pointed to United’s history with Danish ex-players like Peter Schmeichel and claimed that the Red Devils have shared a “connection” with his native homeland.
“I think there’s always been that [interest], more or less,” he said.
“For a few years you had a good [Peter] Schmeichel here at the club, so I think the connection with Danish people has always been close.
“But at the moment, of course, we’re three or four from Denmark and it’s a lot compared to what there has been before.
“At the same time, it means that Danish guys are good players and they can play at a big club and then yeah, just really to show the country [off].”
