Ajax starlet Christian Eriksen admits he is honoured to receive praise from Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
Eriksen,
who is regarded as one of the best young players in Europe, played against United during Ajax's 2-0 defeat in the Europa League on Thursday.Ferguson
was full of praise for Eriksen after the game and refused to rule out a move for the Danish international."He's a good player - a typical Ajax player who is good on the ball - but we already knew that," Ferguson told TV3+.
"We have many young players at the club, but we are always looking for talent. It's impossible to predict."
Honour
Eriksen said he was flattered to receive a compliment from Ferguson, even if he plans to remain at the Amsterdam ArenA for the time being."It is great to hear and an honour to hear him saying positive things about me, especially as it's not just come from any old manager," Eriksen told Ekstra Bladet.
"It's something I have to get used to. I would say that he is one of the game's greatest managers."
Asked whether he would be interested in a move to United, Eriksen said: "I want to play for a big club at some point, of course, but right now I am not dreaming of anything so big. My dream is for now only about Ajax."
