The Moment Brandon Williams Realised It Was Christian Eriksen Who Rugby-Tackled Him, They'll Now Be Teammates

Eriksen returned to the Premier League with Brentford on a short-term deal in January and came up against Brandon Williams, who was on loan at Norwich City back in March.

Williams knocked the ball past Eriksen, who decided to haul his opponent down to prevent a counter.

The combative Williams responded by grabbing Eriksen's shirt, before realising who it was.

Williams then gave him a hug while on the ground with a cheeky grin.

Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch during Euro 2020 and many wondered if he would ever play again.

"Obviously, it was just a moment that happened, it was just instincts," the full-back explained.

"I got past him and I felt him pull me down, so we was on the attack and I was really angry.

"I was going to…hold him but I know what he’s been through, and it’s incredible what he’s done, and he’s back now.

"It was something special for him to be on the pitch for himself, and to be involved in that, I felt like he needed a hug.

"It’s something that no player wants to go through, it was amazing that he’s back and he’s a top quality player and I’m sure he’ll be back to his best very soon."

The duo will now be teammates and could line-up alongside one another on the first day of the season.

Eriksen will be United's second signing of the summer after Tyrell Malacia, who is expected to join from Feyenoord in the next few days.

Talks are ongoing with Barcelona for Frenkie de Jong, while Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez remains a target.

Martinez, who has worked with ten Hag before, is also on Arsenal's radar.

Ronaldo has asked for a 'significant offer' to be accepted as he wishes to play Champions League football.
