Eriksen delighted with early days at Man Utd: Everybody taken good care of me

Christian Eriksen was pleased with his first game at Old Trafford as a Manchester United player.

The Danish playmaker, signed as a free agent this summer, started for the first time since joining the Reds in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano.

United kick-off their Premier League campaign next Sunday against Brighton, and Eriksen is starting to feel at home with his new club.

"It was very different, also when walking into the stadium," he told MUTV. "I had to go right instead of left. But it was special, it was a nice feeling. It's been a nice day and wearing the home shirt here is definitely a new feeling I need to get used to.

"The people were very welcoming and I had a good feeling. I feel good.

"The group has taken good care of me. I haven't had that many sessions with the team, obviously as they've been on tour, but I've played a game to get some minutes in my legs and I feel good. I feel fresh. The team feels good and the whole vibe around the changing room has been very good."
