"I really like Eriksen, I've always admired him in terms of his creativity and the way he plays his football," Murphy told talkSPORT. "He tries things, he's good at set-plays, two good feet but would it excite me if I was a United fan? He's going to be a squad player, isn't he?

"He's not going to play instead of [Bruno] Fernandes."

When asked whether Eriksen is a "world class player", Murphy took no hesitation in answering.

"No. World class? Eriksen? No. No, no, no, no."
