Eriksen celebrates his first United goal

Naturally, the goal prompted wild celebrations from the travelling fans, who will no doubt be pleased that United signed off before the World Cup break with a win.

“You want to finish as good as possible just before this break and I think they [the fans] definitely felt the same,” said Eriksen. “They know there’s no more games for a long time now for club football, so it’s a good win. It’s a good feeling to go off at the World Cup so it was a good night in the end.”

On United’s season up to this point, Cristian said: “Of course there’s been ups and downs. There’s been some losses, but you’ll get that and you’ll be disappointed but in general, I think we have bounced back from the loses we’ve had and really taken another step.

“The ugly wins are very important in the Premier League. It’s a long season, you need all those points you can get and today we fought hard to get it and it’s a lovely ending.”
