Ferguson was full of praise for Eriksen after United’s 2-0 win over Ajax in the Europa League on Thrusday.
“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.”
“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.”
He added: “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.”
