Erik ten Hag receives boost as Christian Eriksen’s Man United return date set
Erik ten Hag has received good news as Christian Eriksen is nearing his return from injury, which is beneficial as Manchester United are approaching the important part of the season.
The international break is over, and there is a long period left until the end of the season. United is still involved in two cup competitions and is striving to secure a spot in the Premier League’s Champions League.
The team has progressed to the semi-final of the FA Cup and the quarter-finals of the Europa League, and they will be eager to build on their Carabao Cup triumph in February, which highlights the positive progress made under Ten Hag’s leadership in his debut season at Old Trafford.
Nonetheless, Casemiro’s absence for the next three games could be a significant blow for United, as he has been a vital player for the team, perhaps even more so than Marcus Rashford’s goal-scoring contributions.
Additionally, Marcel Sabitzer’s availability for the match against Newcastle is uncertain due to a knee injury he sustained while playing for Austria. In the earlier part of the season, Eriksen and Casemiro formed a robust midfield partnership before the Danish player got injured in January.
Since Eriksen’s injury, United has experienced a decline in their ability to dominate play, and even though they have achieved good results, they have not been playing at their highest level. However, Eriksen, who has been training at Carrington during the international break, may return to the team next week, according to reports from The Mirror.
It seems that the matches against Newcastle and Brentford may be too early for Eriksen to make a return, but the report suggests that he may be included on the bench for the game against Everton next Saturday.
This news will undoubtedly provide a significant lift to United, as every match is vital as they approach the end of the season. There is the possibility that Casemiro and Eriksen may reunite in the midfield soon, which could be a promising prospect for the team.
“I think earlier in my career I would have taken it a lot harder than I do now,” said Eriksen. “You learn later on that it’s just part of your career. Sometimes you’re lucky, sometimes you’re not. The mindset is just getting back as soon as possible in a healthy, strong way and not to get any setbacks.”
