Man Utd midfielder Eriksen: Copenhagen clash will have special atmosphere

Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen hopes to start at Champions League opponents FC Copenhagen on Wednesday.

The match marks a return home for the Dane.

"I have never played against Copenhagen in here," Eriksen said.

"I have only been here with [the] national team and I do know the atmosphere is very special.

"I do expect a special atmosphere but 100 times more theatrical than Old Trafford [according to FC Copenhagen manager Jacob Neestrup]? I'm not sure about that."

He added, "The only thing for us is three points. To put ourselves in the position to go through, we know we need to get three points.

"We lost a lot of points in the first two games so tomorrow is another opportunity to get three points."
