Sir Alex to keep close eye on Eriksen

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is looking forward to watching Ajax teenager Christian Eriksen when the teams meet on Thursday.

United face Ajax in the first leg of the last 32 of the Europa League and Eriksen is expected to be one of the influential figures in the tie.

The Denmark international has been linked with a string of Europe's leading teams, including United, following a string of impressive performances for club and country.

"There's been a lot of attention on him," Ferguson said. "Everybody's been watching him. We'll see what he's like."

Meanwhile, Ferguson insists his team are looking to add the Europa League to their lengthy list of prizes in recent years.

"We definitely want to win this tournament," Ferguson added. "I am treating this seriously. We're going to have a go.

"The thing is to look forward to it. It's still European football. It's still a good standard of football. The great thing is that we don't have a game on the Saturday, so I can play my strongest team and I will."
