Manchester United’s squad has been destroyed by accidents for giant parts of the season up to now. Erik ten Hag is eager to not use it as an excuse, nevertheless it’s factual info.
Just lately, the ranks have been bolstered by gamers returning. Kobbie Mainoo seems good, Luke Shaw is again, whereas there was one other returning man this week. Christian Eriksen was pictured again in coaching after a reasonably prolonged downside. Now, we’ve acquired extra excellent news on that entrance.
It comes from the Manchester Night Information, who provide a lift to United. The Dane is now stated to be ‘in line’ to make his first match day squad in six weeks following an damage, with Eriksen to be within the occasion because the Reds gear as much as tackle West Ham United.
The ex-Spurs man had been coping with a knee damage because the November eleventh assembly in opposition to Luton City, although now Eriksen is ready to make his return to the fold.
Whether or not or not Eriksen will take to the sphere is one other matter solely. United have been so depleted in that space, that even Tom Huddlestone, an U21 coach, was drafted into first-team coaching this week to bolster numbers. That might level to Eriksen being rushed again.
I nonetheless imagine the midfielder has one thing to supply. His calmness and on-ball capacity might be key in these video games the place sides come to Outdated Trafford and play for some extent. Nonetheless, I do fear about his lack of legs and power, notably defensively.
Both approach, it’s good to have one other physique obtainable in midfield.
