The midfielder has confirmed he is back training for the Red Devils on social media.
The Dane posted three pictures to his Instagram story confirming the removal of his protective boot.
The collection of snaps shows Eriksen’s progression from wearing the protective boot to trainers to his football boots.
Eriksen was not expected back until April, but looks on course to feature again for the club before the end of the season.
The 31-year-old last spoke about his injury after the Carabao Cup final victory against Newcastle.
He told MUTV: “I am feeling well.
“It is always boring to be in a boot and to be on crutches, but I have left the crutches and am now only in a boot, and next week that should be gone then finally start learning to walk. But it feels good.
“It’s been nice. Obviously, you want to play.

“Watching from the stands is more nerve-racking than actually playing, but I kept my calm, and it is nice to see how happy they are.
“I am just happy that we won the game.”
His potential return is a timely boost for Man United as they battle for a spot in the top four as well as in the FA Cup and Europa League.
