Christian Eriksen scores on his Man United debut

The 30-year-old did not waste time proving his worth as he netted on his debut for his new side.

The Sun reports that the Denmark international was on the scoresheet as United demolished the lower-tier side 4-1.

According to the publication, Eriksen's goal bodes well for the midfielder as he looks to secure himself a starting spot in Ten Hag's team.

Meanwhile, Erkisen's goal caught the eye of United fans, who quickly took to social media to share their views.

One said:

"25+ goals from Eriksen will win us the league."

Another added:

"Eriksen just scored in a behind closed doors friendly. Rivals be scared."

A third noted:

"Eriksen scored straight away? I'm totally here for it."

Erik ten Hag punishes Man United star for coming late

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Erik Ten Hag's strictness came to the fore during United's pre-season tour in Australia after he axed an unnamed player from the team for being late.

It is believed that Ten Hag was planning to involve the player in one of the fixtures but decided to get rid of him for turning up late for a team meeting.

Ten Hag has built a strong reputation at Old Trafford as a disciplinarian since his arrival from Ajax.
