“I’ve played alongside players like Ramos, Pepe, and others, but this specific Man United teammate is superior to them all put together. Though he’s young, I’m picking up a lot from him. Casemiro claims that one specific defender for Man United is superior to both Pepe and Sergio Ramos together.

Eriksen is out of contract at United next summer, and was linked with a move away in the transfer window though admits no decision has been made yet on his future.

He said: “I feel very good at United. If they told me to leave I would leave but I didn’t hear that.”

Kobbie Mainoo has been an ever present in the side since impressing last season, and with United completing the signing of Manuel Ugarte on deadline day, Eriksen looked to be frozen out, though he has taken his opportunities so far this campaign.

Prior to joining United, Eriksen enjoyed a six-month spell at Brentford on his return to football, and England seems a place where he is settled having been such a prominent figure for Spurs for such a long time under Mauricio Pochettino.

“I’m a guy who likes being in a place where my family is settled and at the same time being in a place where I can benefit and play, that’s always going to be my aim.”
