Man Utd midfielder Eriksen lends name to international tournament

Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen has lent his name to an international tournament held by Odense.

The Christian Eriksen Cup will be held in Odense in January.

The Dane played his junior football with Odense before leaving for Ajax.

He said, "OB is a club that means a lot to me, as I myself have had my time at the Academy.

"Therefore, this was an obvious opportunity to give something back, and with this tournament we can get more people to see the good work that is being done for the development of talent in Ådalen."
