CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN has been spotted at Old Trafford in a club tracksuit ahead of Manchester United’s Premier League clash with Tottenham.
The Dane, 30, missed Sunday’s 0-0 draw at home with Newcastle through illness.
And his presence was sorely missed in the middle of the park, according to United legend Gary Neville.
The ex-Red Devils captain labelled Eriksen a “big player” who “glues the team together”.
Fifth-place United are back at Old Trafford tonight, but this time they’re facing third place Spurs, who have lost just one league game this season.
And in a potential boost to Erik ten Hag’s side, Eriksen was spotted entering Old Trafford in a club tracksuit.

Manchester Evening News’ Samuel Luckhurst tweeted: “Just gave way to Christian Eriksen entering the Old Trafford car park.
“Was in a club tracksuit, so hopefully for #mufc’s sake he is playing tonight.”
Should the summer free transfer be declared fit, he will be in contention to face his former team.
Eriksen spent seven years at Spurs before sealing a 2020 transfer to Inter Milan.
