Christian Eriksen reveals how he picked No. 14 and who’s Manchester United’s finest midfielder; Details here

Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen has revealed he didn't freely pick his jersey number upon arriving at Old Trafford, but he has chosen Casemiro as the best midfielder on the club.

This summer, the Danish playmaker joined United for free after terminating his short-term contract with United's Premier League rivals Brentford. He's done well in all competitions in 20 games at Old Trafford, assisting on six goals.

Eriksen started his scoring career with the squad just before the World Cup break with the opening goal in a 2-1 victory against Fulham.


The Dane's choice of jersey number was surprising given that he had never worn the numerals before in his whole career, opting instead for the likes of 8, 21, 23, and 24. The midfielder has been clean about passing the decision-making reins to his kid.

Claiming, "My son selected the shirt; I didn't!" in an interview with United's official website. I scribbled down the possibilities, and he picked number 14 from our little options.



Although Eriksen has made headlines in his short time at Old Trafford, another summer addition, Casemiro, may make a similar argument. The Brazilian secured a lucrative move from Real Madrid, and he has become an important player under Erik ten Hag while patiently waiting for his chance to get into the starting eleven.

Brazilian superstar athlete Neymar agrees with Eriksen. After Casemiro scored the winning goal for Brazil in the World Cup encounter against Switzerland, the striker for Paris Saint-Germain congratulated his teammate.
