Arsenal legend, Paul Merson has backed Manchester United to sign Christian Eriksen this summer.

Merson believes Man United need the Denmark international, adding that the midfielder is a quality player.

Eriksen has been linked with a move to Man United this summer.

The former Tottenham Hotspur and Inter Milan star is now a free agent after his six-month loan deal with Brentford expires this summer.

“One hundred percent, Christian Eriksen is the player Man Utd have been calling out for. He’s a quality player, top drawer. He sprays the ball round the pitch, makes things happen,” Merson told Sky Sports.

“That is what they need. A lot of teams come to Old Trafford and there is no fear factor anymore, so the game will open up and he can break people down. I’m a massive Eriksen fan, I’m surprised every club in the country was not after him. I mean that would be a massive coup for Man Utd.”
