Christian Eriksen Was Asked About THAT Moment With Brandon Williams In First Manchester United Interview

The deal was announced by United on 15 July but Eriksen has only just arrived at the club's Carrington base and took part in first-team training.

He also did the usual media duties such as photoshoots and interviews for official club channels.

And one questioned posed to the former Spurs and Inter Milan midfielder was his exchange with Williams, who is now his teammate.

In the interview, the reporter told Eriksen, "Obviously we're aware of the connection with Brandon Williams with what happened last season?" - to which he replied, "What, we call that a connection?!".

Williams, in his United training attire, was seen sharing an embrace with his new teammate in b-roll footage cut into the Eriksen interview.

But he couldn't turn down United and the chance to work under Ten Hag, who achieved success at his former club Ajax.

“Obviously to speak with the manager and hear his ideas and have conversations with him on the football terms was great and ideal for me to get the decision and the possibility of coming to Manchester United.”

Eriksen could make his debut for United against Atletico Madrid in Oslo on Saturday - or alternatively - feature in the friendly at Old Trafford against Rayo Vallecano a day later.
