So when asked to reveal the most formidable player he’d faced from the African continent, the Danish international unhesitantly put forward Salah’s name. The United midfielder told Premier League Productions (via HITC): “I would have to say Salah. He has been in the Premier League for a few years and also previously at Chelsea. But to play the level he has done, over the last few years, it has been pretty impressive.” Salah, who signed a two-year contract extension earlier this summer, has scored 120 Premier League goals in 186 appearances. His exploits have won him a whopping three Golden Boots. He also won the Playmaker Award in the 2021-22 season for providing the highest number of assists (13) in the Premier League.

Christian Eriksen has arguably been Manchester United s signing of the summer

Manchester United splurged a lot on the likes of Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, and Antony, but none of them have been as impressive as free agent Christian Eriksen. The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder has hit the ground running at Old Trafford, barely putting a foot wrong. He has kept the game ticking as a central midfielder, helped out defensively whenever needed, and has been impressive higher up the pitch as well. Eriksen has given his coach Erik ten Hag the freedom to experiment with his formation without necessarily losing on quality.

They know he’s watching, he’s looking all the time.” #MUFC ?5213311 Paul Scholes on Eriksen: “Well, forwards know when the ball’s coming – they know they’ve got a midfield player who is thinking about them even before the ball comes.
