Speaking about Christian Eriksen’s impact at Man United, Michael Carrick said: “I’m not surprised one bit [by Eriksen’s form]. I played against him a lot. I watched him a lot. I like him a lot.
“He’s a fantastic footballer. He’s clever, he’s smart. It almost doesn’t matter what position he plays. He can adapt. He’s just a clever, intelligent footballer with great quality. I was pleased when we signed him, and he’s not surprised me one bit. He’s a top player.”
Carrick had a brilliant career as a player at Old Trafford and even acted as an assistant manager, as well as a very short stint as the interim manager after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking last year.
He knows what it takes for a midfielder to prosper at Old Trafford and for him to give such glowing remarks on Eriksen reflects brightly on him.
The Danish midfielder has started every single game under Erik ten Hag so far, producing two assists in eight appearances.
