Manchester United supporters face a painful reminder of what might have been when they take on Brentford at Old Trafford tonight.
As they attempt to avoid a third defeat in four matches in their final home game of the season, United must try to ensure Christian Eriksen does not have the kind of impact that made him a serious target for the club on three separate occasions.
Eriksen's form since joining Brentford in January, on a deal until the end of the campaign, has been remarkable. The Bees have won five and drawn one of the six games he has started to move out of the relegation zone and into a comfortable mid-table spot in their first season in the Premier League.
