Christian Eriksen says that joining Man Utd is "very special" and was something he never thought would ever happen.

United signed the Denmark international on a three-year deal following a rigorous medical.

The 30-year-old has strengthened Erik ten Hag's midfield options at Old Trafford after opting against remaining at Brentford, where he enjoyed an impressive stint on loan last season.

The move sees Eriksen reunite with Ten Hag, who helped facilitate the midfielder's return from the cardiac arrest he suffered at Euro 2020 by inviting him to train with Ajax during his rehabilitation.
