Legendary goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel thinks Christian Eriksen will be able to handle the pressure to “create goals” at Man Utd.
Eriksen joined the Red Devils earlier this month on a free transfer after leaving Brentford at the end of June.
The Denmark international spent the second half of last season with the Bees after he wasn’t allowed to play in Serie A for Inter Milan because of regulations around playing with an ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator).

“The pressure is higher when you are not winning at United than it is elsewhere. You have to learn to live with the huge pressure that is on your performance. I have seen several talented footballers come to United without being able to cope with the pressure.
“But Eriksen should not worry. He has the mental balance he…
