Christian Eriksen says it is great to have another Danish player in the squad in the form of Rasmus Hojlund but has told his new team-mate that he will have to get up to speed with Premier league football quickly.<\/p>\n
Hojlund, 20, moved to Old Trafford from Serie A side Atalanta in July for a \u00a372million fee – \u00a364m plus \u00a38m of add-ons.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He is yet to make his debut due to a back problem but has joined full first team training and there is talk it could come against Arsenal on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Both he and Eriksen play for the Denmark national team and the latter had plenty of positive things to say about his compatriot.<\/p>\n
‘He’s a guy who holds his ground,’ began Christian, speaking to United Review recently.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Christian Eriksen\u00a0 is happy to have another Danish player in the Manchester United squad<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rasmus Hojlund is yet to make his debut for his new club following his big money move<\/p>\n
‘He doesn’t back down from anything. He’s really a front-foot guy, who is aggressive and really attack-minded. But, at the same time, a nice guy outside of football.’<\/p>\n
Yeah, I definitely will [pass that experience on] but he will definitely see it for himself,’ added Eriksen.<\/p>\n
‘The Premier League is different compared to any other league he’s been at before.<\/p>\n
‘So he’s going to have to adapt. But I’m sure he will adapt quickly.’<\/p>\n
With two Danish representatives now part of the make-up of Ten Hag’s squad, Eriksen also insists it’s something that has been well received back in his homeland.<\/p>\n
‘I know it’s been a massive, massive thing and still is,’ said the 31-year-old.<\/p>\n
‘Obviously, it’s going to explode even more when he is going to have his debut.<\/p>\n
‘I’m happy there’s another Dane at United who can show off the Danish flag.’<\/p>\n
