"We were the better team in the first half. United were much the better side against Liverpool and they controlled the game with their high energy. "Hopefully this gives us a big boost towards the next games," Eriksen told MUTV.

MANCHESTER UNITED star Christian Eriksen featured in his side's 2-1 Premier League win over Liverpool on Monday night.

Both teams made a huge performance and it was a great night especially for the Manchester United fans. We had a difficult start but I am very happy especially for the fans and against Liverpool. “Every game is a battle, there are no easy wins in the Premier League, that is what this team needs to understand. That is what I saw and they get the rewards. [Manchester United](/latest/manchester-united-fc) star Christian Eriksen seems to have aimed a sly dig at the club’s underperforming players after their 2-1 win over [Liverpool](/latest/liverpool-fc) on Monday night. But they turned on the style at Old Trafford to claim all three points at the expense of their fierce rivals. “It was not easy to deal with that but when you start in the process you find out the characters and behaviours of individuals and the team and I was definitely not satisfied with that, especially against Brentford. “I don't think they can always bring it that far as today but you can always have energy, always focus, always fighting spirit and those demands is a base for the team to win games.” "It starts with the mindset, they understand this is that attitude they have to bring, it starts in the preparation. "In their mindset they may think I cannot do all the defending work and threat in offence but today you can see they can do it, it has to be a way of life and they will get stronger,” he told BBC Sport. “We needed to show that we were better doing the basics and I think we did that today.” "Obviously, we made a few mistakes against them that gave them the advantage and, today, we started on the front foot and were the better team in the first half.

Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford got the goals against Liverpool, but Christian Eriksen said it was a team effort from Manchester United.

Christian Eriksen pinpoints the major difference between Brentford ... (Man Utd News)

Christian Eriksen has talked about the major difference in the team's performance in the two matches against Brentford and Liverpool.

The former Borussia Dortmund winger had Ronaldo on his feet as he scored a glorious goal in front of the home fans. Rashford had a moment of his own as he scored a powerful winner and it all ended in United’s favour. He could be another gem that is waiting to take the league by storm. Lisandro Martinez paired with Raphael Varane and they didn’t put a wrong step in the entire game. However, Klopp will be concerned as his team looks short. Darwin Nunez’s red card last week has further damaged his plans. Erik ten Hag was able to ignite the fire within his players to dominate the opposition on all fronts. “I think our intensity compared to the Brentford game [was the biggest difference]. But it was a very different scenario against Brentford a week ago. The young full-back was a nuisance down the flank as he marked the attackers so well and made excellent use of his pace. Obviously, we made a few mistakes against them that gave them the advantage and, today, we started on the front foot and were the better team in the first half.” A lack of character and togetherness in the group was clear to be seen.

Christian Eriksen may have proved to Erik ten Hag he was not the stop-gap No.6 midfielder he was looking for, but he showed he can still mix it with the top ...

"I think on the ball, the team could have done better than we did today, but in general, the intensity, getting on the level and playing to punish them how they play [was great]. A lad that will back himself to get his side out of a bind and make telling contributions. Some fans likened Eriksen to Juan Mata when he was signed, over the summer, but that undersells what the Dane can deliver. Eriksen drew a fine finger-tip save from Alisson, early on, and linked up with Malacia for Sancho's opener, but his willingness to demand the ball and get his team moving again was what stood out against Liverpool. Against Liverpool, Christian Eriksen was the man that made everything tick for United. The Brazilian has arrived from Real Madrid, and de Jong may follow, but Scott McTominay was brought back in for Monday night's crucial encounter with Liverpool.

Christian Eriksen and Jadon Sancho have revealed what has changed after the losses to Brentford and Brighton as Manchester United beat Liverpool.

Once I chopped inside, I knew I needed to keep cool. To be fair, I’ve been in those situations (before the goal) many times. "We were the better team in the first half. I saw the gap and I trusted myself to finish it. As players, we’re happy to play this style. We’re very young, we’re energetic, so we can produce these types of performances.
