Eriksen, acknowledging Mainoo’s prowess, commented, “I’m very impressed. Luckily I have seen him in training and I have seen him [from] close by. I really like what I see. I mean, he’s an exceptional player. He’s still a very young lad, but he is doing really well, and he’s getting his spot in the team.”
