Alan Shearer has included Manchester United trio Lisandro Martinez, Christian Eriksen and Marcus Rashford in his Premier League Team of the Week.

The three players were selected along with the likes of Everton pair Jordan Pickford & Nathan Patterson, Brighton duo Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister, Wolves’ Max Kilman, Tottenham’s Ryan Sessegnon, Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne and Brentford striker Ivan Toney:

Shearer reserved special praise for Eriksen, who he believes played a pivotal role in United securing an important 3-1 win over Arsenal at the weekend:

“Produced a passing masterclass. What a signing he has been!”

It does look as if the Danish international could turn out to be an absolute bargain based on his early season form. Some, including former captain Rio Ferdinand, had raised doubts about the Red Devils signing the playmaker on a free transfer, but he has already proven that he can make a huge difference in high profile games. Both Rashford and Martinez also deserved to be recognised after the performances they put in against the Gunners.
