In three successive games at Old Trafford, he came off the bench, against Galatasaray, Brentford and FC Copenhagen, and helped improve the performance. Mount can also play that role and although his start to life at Old Trafford was disappointing, the fact United paid £55million for him means he will get more chances. At least a dozen first-team players could leave Old Trafford this summer, if not more. Last season Eriksen played 54.5% of the available minutes in United's season. That is a clear pattern and as good a footballer as he can still be, it appears we are reaching the end of Eriksen's time at Old Trafford.
