Eriksen can still be influential at Euros for Danes

CHRISTIAN Eriksen suffered a difficult end to the season with Manchester United, but insists critics questioning his value are overlooking the experience he brings.

Eriksen has joined up with the Denmark national side for Euro 2024. The 31-year-old remains a key part of manager Kasper HjuImand plans despite limited game time for United in the season just ended.

The playmaker had been a vital cog for Erik ten Hag in his first season at the club, but played just 28 times, scoring once and creating only three goals in the 2023/24 campaign as he was often left on the bench. And while he finished the season on a high, in the squad that lifted the FA Cup, he had started just three games out of the last 17 for United.
