“I don’t feel like a 32-year-old, understood in the sense that I don’t feel like I’m about to finish as a footballer,” he continued.
“But, precisely because I am 32, people feel from the outside that you might be about to finish. And I think that is sometimes a bit misunderstood.
“So often age, as a number, is worse than what the player is. I think, there, you have to think about what type of player it is, what position they play and so on. It is of great importance.
“You have football experience and, of course, you also have the age but, if you still have the speed, quickness, running capacity and things like that, then I don’t think there is a big difference between being 32 or 29.”
Eriksen’s next assignment for United will be against one of his former clubs, Brentford, at Old Trafford on Saturday 19 October.
