That certainly looks the case at the moment, as he returns from international duty with Denmark with praise ringing in his ears from all quarters. The midfielder seemed to laugh when asked by the press in advance of the UEFA Nations League matches whether it was a problem that he was facing a taxing run of fixtures, as he indicated it was also seen as an issue when he was not featuring as regularly for Manchester United during previous call-ups.
Eriksen, like most footballers, loves playing football and the more minutes the better for the 32-year-old.
If he is selected against former club Brentford on Saturday, it will be his ninth United appearance of the campaign and he is relishing the chance to shine.
