Erik ten Hag has overseen a change in attitude at Manchester United.
What Erik ten Hag has asked Christian Eriksen to do in Manchester United midfield
05.09.2022 - 07:21 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Erik ten Hag believes Bruno Fernandes is benefitting from Christian Eriksen's presence in the Manchester United midfield this season.
The duo have started all six of United's Premier League games this term and after Eriksen's false start as a false nine against Brighton, they have developed a good understanding in midfield.
Eriksen was involved in all three of the goals in the win against Arsenal on Sunday, turning in a man-of-the-match performance, and he's played more minutes than any other new signing this season.

Fernandes claimed an assist for Marcus Rashford's second goal against the Gunners and had scored in his previous two games, returning to form this season.
Ten Hag is delighted with how the pair are linking up and the goal threat they are giving United.
"Bruno Fernandes gets support [from Christian], he can also pass the final ball, receive the final ball, the togetherness they really suit together," said the United boss.
Eriksen has been given freedom in United's midfield, with Scott McTominay starting four successive games in a holding midfield role, and he has become a trusted lieutenant for Ten Hag, playing all but eight minutes of United's Premier League campaign so far.
"We put him a little more down on the pitch, like a six, eight role, he has a lot of freedom, he has to interchange with the spaces where he has to be and the rest have to adapt to that," said Ten Hag.
"He can make a game for you, make the switch of play, he sees a pass between the lines, make the final pass and go into attack to score a goal. He can improve his defence, when he plays like today one small mistake, we’ll give him that, he played a magnificent game."
