Christian Eriksen believes that Rasmus Hojlund suits Manchester United perfectly.

The Denmark midfielder was speaking to news outlet Ekstrabladet in his homeland, during this international break, and was asked about his relationship with the 20-year-old forward, who has scored three goals in eight matches for the Reds since arriving in the summer.

Christian believes that Rasmus was a great addition to the squad, and fits into Erik ten Hag's style of play well, but knows there is more to come from the exciting centre-forward.

"I think Rasmus has been a wise purchase," said the 31-year-old. "He's a guy who fits into the squad, fits into the way of playing, understands the coach's ideas.

"He's a good guy who works hard."

Moving to a new country and city can be a daunting prospect and, given Hojlund has started life on the pitch in positive fashion, Eriksen has been helping his compatriot feel at home off it.

"We've been out to eat," he added. "He's been over at my house, and we see each other every day at the club.

"I have given him my advice, and he has chosen to live close to the stadium and the training facility, so he has listened there.

"He is very mature in his approach to things."

Denmark face Euro 2024 qualifiers against Kazakhstan (Saturday) and San Marino (Tuesday).
