It suits me very well - Manchester United star Christian Eriksen names his strongest position

By Jack Spedding Modified 23 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Manchester United playmaker Christian Eriksen names best position Manchester United playmaker Christian Eriksen has revealed that the central midfield position of a No. 8 is where he likes to play the most.

Eriksen has been a key part of that revival as he has successfully partnered Scott McTominay and Bruno Fernandes in midfield. When Eriksen was asked by Dutch media outlet Politiken where his best position is on the pitch, the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder replied (as per The Manchester Evening News): "During that period we were probably searching – also for my own part. I played many different positions in a very short time. First a little striker and then down in defensive midfield. In recent matches, I have played as an 8, and it suits me very well. "It’s great that we’ve come back on top with wins, which have been good for us and created a bit of confidence."

Manchester United star reacts to Paul Scholes comparisons

Doubts were cast over Eriksen's arrival at Manchester United after he was released by Inter Milan less than a year ago on medical grounds. Many believed that he would struggle to keep up with the pace of an Erik ten Hag system, but he has quickly proved those doubters wrong. Eriksen has since been compared to legendary midfielder Paul Scholes, who made 714 appearances for Manchester United. The one-club midfielder bagged 153 goals and 75 assists across competitions for the Red Devils. About the comparisons, Eriksen quipped on how quickly people's opinions have changed, as he said (via the Mirror): "It’s football in a nutshell and shows how fast it is. Of course, it is great to be compared to them, but you create your own ways and your own name. I was lucky that I managed to play against Paul Scholes. He was a good player, so I’m happy to be compared to him." Eriksen is currently on international duty with Denmark, who are to take on Croatia and France in their Nations League clashes this week. The Danes are preparing for their FIFA World Cup campaign, in which they will face Tunisia, France and Australia in Group D.UtdArena@UtdArenaSince his debut, Christian Eriksen has excelled for Ajax (2009-13) Tottenham (2013-20), Inter (2020-21), Brentford (2021/22) and now us (2022-present)—five very different environments—which speaks volumes about how well he understands the game (i.e. cognition).8209701Since his debut, Christian Eriksen has excelled for Ajax (2009-13) Tottenham (2013-20), Inter (2020-21), Brentford (2021/22) and now us (2022-present)—five very different environments—which speaks volumes about how well he understands the game (i.e. cognition). https://t.co/6KBOrAiP2x Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Puranjay × Feedback Thank You!
