Manchester United boss confirms Eriksen return after two months

This Friday, the coach of the Manchester UnitedErik Ten Hag, has confirmed the return of Christian Eriksen after being sidelined since January 28.

At the press conference, the Dutch commander said he “was very angry” with the tackle that caused the injury to the midfielder, against Reading, for the English League Cup, and worried that the player would not return until the end of this season.

“I was really angry about that tackle,” said the United manager. “It was a really bad tackle and a bad injury. I thought we had lost him all season,” he said.

Before the injury, the Dane was one of United’s key players. In 19 Premier League appearances, he recorded seven assists and scored once. Despite this, the coach will have to deal with the absence of left-back Shaw.

“Luke Shaw is not available for Saturday,” said Ten Hag. “We’ll have to see his progress next week,” he lamented.

In their next commitment, Manchester United faces Everton for the 28th round of the Premier League. The ball will roll this Saturday, at 8:30 am (Brasília time), at Old Trafford. Now, the club occupies the fourth position of the National League, three ahead of fifth place, Tottenham, the first club within the Champions League classification zone.
