Christian Eriksen feeling good vibes at United

Eriksen, who was a whisker away from scoring his first goal for the club with a fine effort in the first half, knows the focus now switches to the Premier League.

“It’s always a good feeling to finish a pre-season and now the real work starts,” he added. “The real season starts. It’s always nice to play the last pre-season game to really get the good feeling and the fitness from pre-season. In the end, it’s all about being ready mentally for the first game.

“Yes, I’m definitely optimistic. Obviously, I’ve only been here for a short period of time but it looks good and it feels good among the players in the first team. There’s a good feeling around after the tour and I hope it can continue. It starts with Brighton and, hopefully, it will be a good start.”
