Christian Eriksen says he can't wait to work under Erik ten Hag after he was confirmed as Manchester United's second signing of the summer.
The 30-year-old has agreed to a three-year deal and arrives on a free transfer after his short-term Brentford contract expired at the end of June.
Eriksen is expected to play a back-up role to Bruno Fernandes next season, though he also has experience playing out wide and as a deep-lying playmaker in recent years.

Eriksen will not link up with the United squad on their pre-season tour of Australia, where they have two more games against Crystal Palace in Melbourne on Tuesday and Aston Villa in Perth next Saturday.
“Manchester United is a special club, and I cannot wait to get started," he said. "I have had the privilege of playing at Old Trafford many times but to do it in the red shirt of United will be an amazing feeling.
“I have seen Erik’s work at Ajax and know the level of detail and preparation that he and his staff put into every day. It is clear that he is a fantastic coach.
"Having spoken with him and learned more about his vision and the way he wants the team to play, I am even more excited for the future.
"I still have major ambitions in the game, there is a huge amount that I know I can achieve, and this is the perfect place to continue my journey.”
