Ajax winger Christian Eriksen was flattered by praise from Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson after Thursday's Europa League defeat.

Eriksen says he wants a move to a big club, although he is content at Ajax for now.

"It is great to hear and an honour to hear him saying positive things about me, especially as it's not just come from any old manager," Eriksen told Ekstra Bladet.

"It's something I have to get used to. I would say that he is one of the game's greatest managers. I want to play for a big club at some point, of course, but right now I am not dreaming of anything so big. My dream is for now only about Ajax."
