Christian Eriksen held an interview with Manchester United during the course of Saturday ahead of the Manchester derby. The Danish playmaker won Manchester United player of the month award.
The former Tottenham Hotspurs midfielder has been in fine form since project restart. He performed on a consistent basis and reached peak in September.
When asked about his achievement of securing player of the month award, Christian Eriksen said: “Yeah, I think September has been nice. It’s been a good ride compared to, of course, the end of August, which was a bit tough result-wise”.
“But I think, personally and club-wise, the results in September were good so September was a good month.”
“He has a say about fans voting for him: “Definitely. I’m grateful and thankful for the people voting. I mean I wasn’t sure when I arrived about there being a Player of the Month every month.”
“I think it’s the first club I’ve been at where you have that but, again, it means a connection with the fans and they feel part of it and I am pleased that they voted for me.”
Christian spoke about the fixture against Arsenal: “I think, as a team in general, we did very well. I think we managed the game pretty well”.
“They played a very good team and are playing very well, Arsenal, but we punished them in the moments that we needed”.
“We scored at the right time to gain control of the game so I think the result was more important than the game in general.”
“Very even. It always depends on the situation. In a situation like that, for me, it’s a no-brainer to pass it as I thought the chance was even bigger than if I was shooting from there, but I think it’s a bit of both.”
He added that: “I think, again, as a team, we are starting to get even more control in the games we’re playing in. Definitely the one in Moldova, we started well and scored”.
“Then the game got a bit easier on our behalf but I think, definitely, the feeling around the club, how you see it, how you read it and how the fans react, the feeling we have on the pitch is going well”.
“The feeling is stronger every game we’re playing, I’m more and more used to my team-mates and the system and everything in general is getting more and more positive”.
