Pointless anagram for "Christian Eriksen":
Inheritance risks.

" Christian is creative and with players who can and will attack the space " 
Nah can't see it. Eriksen and Frenkie will be part of the 3, but there will be a more defensive/stronger tackler in there with them. My guess is McTominay tbh.

Shaw/malacia Martinez Varane/Maguire Dalot

So you have people comfortable, creative and secure in possession in every position barring McTominay who is fine to keep it simple and give it to the more talented 2. Then the front 3 we'll need to find a balance of creation, directness, shooting between Sancho, Bruno, Rashford and Martial basically. Hugely improved build up combining the players and coaching, but still have the defensive balance. The biggest concern for me is getting that scorer, and we rely on martial and Rashford to get it together like 2 years ago.
I could see him going the same way Scholes did and playing deeper in the deep lying playmaker/‘quarterback’ role as he gets older.. but certainly not a #6 like Carrick was.
I think that vd Beek will take the Schone role with Eriksen more forward and Bruno in Tadic ( false 9) role
I honestly think we are going to see Bruno in the false 9, interchanging with Donny and Eriksen. Then we'll have wide forwards either side and full backs bombing on. For those that think Malacia is here as back up to Shaw, I wouldn't be so sure. Obviously I would be worried about the lack of finishing quality there but we might have to try to make something like that work in the mean time until a proper striker is available
As an 8 he can. I get that AM might be his best position but he can easily play as an 8 and a good manager will get him playing that role to a good level.
Interesting. I'm intrigued to see how it will all play out.
Another signing 8 years to late. This fecking club
The punctuation in this thread title edit is annoying. It makes it seem like some person called Verbally agreed to join United is saying the word "Ornstein"
Very true. Would have loved a prime Eriksen. Took spurs to the fecking champs league final.Another signing 8 years to late. This fecking club
Will play RW I think
Half the folk on this forum are unreal sometimes.. we were moaning every week about having players in midfield that couldn't pass the ball, club goes and signs a player on a free who's major strength is his passing and they complain about him.
I'm really looking forward seeing him play, great technician, top player.

Yes, he played af an #8 at Brentford, and sometimes as #6 for Inter. His best positions are CM or AMCCan also play as an #8 or #6
There's a criminal lack of context in a lot of redcafe poster's heads.
I think they believe there's 1billion or so to spend and can't understand why we're not just pressing "Bid" on 100m for 8 or 9 players, and then get them within days as if it's some souped up game of championship manager
Eriksen on a free is so not our style of business, it sounds too wise!
He’s been one of my fav non-Utd EPL players for quite some time. 30 isn’t a bad age either. If his health issues are truly behind him then this will end up being an incredible signing.
The nepotism at this club!
Welcome aboard Erik’son! Shrewd signing, adds quality and another body into midfield.
People loved the Sanchez signing too, and a bunch of other flops.
A superb acquisition. The player buying/selling team still gave a lot of work to do over the next few days, but a tip of the hat is appropriate for the moment.
This is true. You see how he plays now. The understanding of the football, spatial and temporal, is amazing.
They do for sure
Finally a maestro signing, how I have longed, hopefully FDJ also and we are set.
You managed to spell each and every one of those names wrong.
That's the joke.
Great news! Feel sad for Brentford but we really need players of his quality.
Jesus, I feel so embarrassed.
Let's see what happens. I don't see him getting significantly more game time than under Ole / Rangnick.
Suggestions Chelsea decided against Eriksen who was asking for £200k per week. I want to believe Utd haven't done something stupid here. Hopefully it's £150k max.
Chelsea rejected after Eriksen's demands: £200k/week + £10m signing-on fee - from the telegraph
Hope it's not true. Hope we didn't do it. Again and again.

What's the problem? It's not like we're going to try and sell him after two years.
Buried somewhere in this Liverpool Echo article, where Dull Danny Murphy rants on, is a line that seems to say the Eriksen deal is almost done.

He's only 30. And was like a Rolls Royce playing for Brentford, last season. He is excellent in possession. Can spray accurate balls all over the pitch. His running stats were super impressive. Way better than any of our midfield, last season. Scores goals, creates assists and takes free kicks and corners. Getting a quality player like this on a free is good business. He may be a year older than Pogba, but in terms of attitude, he will be like a breath of fresh air.Another signing 8 years to late. This fecking club
So ETH is planning to use him as a DLP like Schone at Ajax then? Not sure that can work in the PL but we'll see.
Maybe but at this moment in time we don’t have any other options and can’t keep going to Fred and mctominay. Ten Hag and him had a great relationship so I’d imagine he’ll try and fit him in somewhere.
He's also closer in style to Paul Scholes than anyone we've had in... well, since Scholesy retired
Eriksens yes… except I was on about donny.
This guy does not rely on speed. No reason he can't be as good at 33 as he is now.
Really like this player, and always have.

Good player and we are instantly improved. It's not a signing for the future but it's a signing we desperately need right now.
