Manchester United are leaning on Erik ten Hag’s experience as Ajax manager by signing as many former Ajax players as possible. Next to arrive at Old Trafford is Christian Eriksen. Eriksen is well known in the Premier League having played at Spurs, and Brentford.
But how will he fit into this Man United team? JJ Bull explains.

Answer: Man Utd
Eriksson became a cult hero than efficient footballer… Like a Lazarus character!
So United can capitalise it by selling lots of jerseys for a premium, which will loot by Glazer-f@ckers.🤬😤
The more I watch Jon the more annoying I start to find JJ
we all know how lewa will play at barca, but could you still make a video of him!?
Where will he play. Short answer…Old Trafford
Mctominay is not an anchor, you’ve no clue lol
Basically a replacement for mata…
I dont see how McTominay can dictate the play. He is just not good enough to be a starter. We must sign a quality player like FDJ. Mctominay or Garner on the bench subbing them on at 65th min.
Eriksen is a midfielder. We just sign Mata replacement.
Nonsensical analysis…ETH has some football brain…he won't play MCT-Fred either of them…keep calm Eriksen is here as a squad player…not a regular certain starter
Old Trafford, mostly
probs on the bench
Looking forward to eriksens pin point deliveries!
This ManU i would like 2 see in 22/23
since 18/19 Ten Hag's Ajax played with a
5 Lefties 5 Righties Ideal Balanced line up
Eriksen Martial Antony
Dybala
Savage Iqbal
Carreras Martinez Frenkie Laird
De Gea
B-Team
Rashford McNeill Sancho
Fernandes
Fred Garner
Malaria Telles Bailly Dalot
he stays at the bench most of the season. Because we already have Bruno
I wish he played a deeper midfield role cos that's the role De Jong plays and looks like De Jong ain't gonna come
He is similar to Bruno, just a bit better on set pieces, and reads the game faster and better. He is also better at creating chances.
erikson and martinez
weird transfers ngl
hes clearly not a fan of the greatest team of all time GGMU!!!!
Eriksen can play as 6,8,10 but i think he'll be used more like tadic at ajax.
Why this guy soo negative
The only issue Bruno tends to drift left too I hope if they play together they work out how to stay out of each others spaces.
mc fred aren't good enough to be united starters
Yes they need to merge Eriksens skills with Rashfords physicals theyll finally have a decent player
tifo seems to be rooting for man u
I think Utd need to get a CDM and it’s the one position they have overlooked, that and rb
You probably wouldn't think that ETH would make a 4-3-3 formation or 3-4-3 formation.
Where’s the koulibaly video. According to Julien Lauren’s he’s one of the three best cb in the world. Surely he deserved a video
It is pretty clear how they are going to play. Just look at Ajax. They are buying the players that know that system and have played like that in the past..
Guys, long story short, Eriksen will play at Man United.
To be honest I think he will play as a central midfielder.
in 4 days 2 people already joined. Still waiting for De jong, hopefully he signs Utd by the end of year 2030
In midfield.
Km
the question is…. will he play
He is not good at retriveing the ball?,and turning the play. Wasnt he one of those that made most work on and off the ball at Tottenham, he is good at pressing, and Tottenham made many fast turn of plays.?, seems there are several misconceptions of his abilities, in this video?
I need some clarification, on that set piece bar chart. I didn't expect to see Man City and Liverpool so high up in this setpiece per goal and Chelsea so low in it. Interesting though because West ham and Brentford were very dangerous from setpieces last season but Man City and Liverpool !.
This bar chart should be for ability of teams at defending set pieces
Imagine Eriksen and Ronaldo coming on at 55 minutes. Both of them at the same time in multiple games – in the league against the compact lower teams when Man U is not breaking through to a 2-0 win.
Could be interesting to see Ronaldo blossom as a set piece receiver with a Eriksen delivry guy – they could be like an American NFL football team special plays team..
