Christian Eriksen remains a crucial player for Manchester United despite lack of starts.
The Man United midfielder has made 10 appearances this season and registered one goal and one assist in the process.
The veteran midfielder played a crucial role last season under Erik ten Hag as he started 25 Premier League games.
But has only started three times in the Premier League this season and was overlooked in the last game against Sheffield United even though Casemiro was injured.
But manager Erik ten Hag insists that the Dane midfielder still remains a vital player for the Red Devils.
“Definitely [he was on the bench] but he takes part in every game. You see his importance when he is on the pitch he has a big influence on our team by creating,” Ten Hag told reporters.
“He is a great player, he is a brilliant player and is very important for our squad. We have many good players. We don’t have a squad with 11. We have a squad where there is internal competition and in the back we have some struggle to line up.”
