Christian Eriksen believes Manchester United's Player-of-the-Month award is important in building more connection with the club's supporters.

The fans get to vote for their winner from our shortlist each month and Eriksen followed fellow new recruit Lisandro Martinez in picking up the trophy this season.

It was just reward for a run of fine performances from the Denmark international, including a key role in the 3-1 truimph over Arsenal and a stand-out performance during the 2-0 victory away to Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League.

For the former Ajax, Tottenham, Internazionale and Brentford midfielder, the award is a great way for fans to get involved.

“I think September has been nice," he told club media at Carrington.
