With the imminent signing of Christian Eriksen, Manchester United supporters would see the Brentford star become just the sixth player hailing from Denmark to play for the club, further strengthening the Ajax connection as well as a very familiar Danish one!
As new United boss, Erik ten Hag, looks to add to his first singing in Tyrell Malacia, Eriksen, a former Ajax player himself, would bring more than a hint of nostalgia to Old Trafford regarding great Danes of the past.
Former United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel is arguably the pick of the bunch, winning not only 15 major trophies in his time with the Reds, but also being the most capped player for Denmark with a record 129 appearances.
The highlight of his international career was undoubtedly helping his country to an unexpected win the UEFA European championships in 1992, with a 2-0 win over Germany in the final.
