Man Utd signing Eriksen excited to make debut at 'very special' Old Trafford

Manchester United signing Christian Eriksen can't wait to make his debut at Old Trafford.

The Danish playmaker has played several times at the 'Theatre of Dreams' with Spurs and Brentford.

And Eriksen is excited by the prospect of suiting up for United at their home ground.

"[Matches at Old Trafford have] always been very good," he told MUTV. "There have been some very tough games in between, but always good memories.

"It's always been very special to play at Old Trafford. In general, playing against such a big club like Manchester United, there's always something with it. Like I said, it's going to be weird being on the other side."

Previewing the Premier League opener against Brighton on August 7, Eriksen said: "It'll be very intense and, hopefully, a good way to start off my United career.

"[It's] the perfect place to do it, at Old Trafford."
