Break Up Steps
Son Heung-min’s former teammate and current Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen has said he is no longer happy at Manchester United.
Danish media outlet Tippsbladet reported an interview with Eriksen on the 19th . “I told Erik ten Hag that I am not happy in Manchester United,” Eriksen, who was called up to play for the Danish national team, said. “I told him directly that I want to play in more games.”
Eriksen continued, “Kobe Mainu, who is currently playing as a starting member, is doing well and other players are doing well, so competition is inevitable. However, I don’t want to keep spending time on the bench.”
Eriksen once led Tottenham’s heyday along with Son. Eriksen led Tottenham’s attack by forming the so-called “DESK line” with Son, Harry Kane, and Dele Alli. An attacking midfielder was at the core of DESK.
The well-off Eriksen faced misfortune. Problems occurred in the 2020-2021 season, his second season as he moved from Tottenham to Inter Milan. Eriksen joined the Danish team in June 2021 and collapsed due to a cardiac arrest while playing against Finland in the Euro 2020 group stage. Fortunately, he regained consciousness after first aid, but his career was on the verge of being cut off.
But Eriksen got through.
He did not continue his career at Inter Milan but returned to England half a year later in January 2022. He was Brentford. Despite lingering concerns over Eriksen’s physical condition, Eriksen showed his full capability. Thomas Frank, the same Danish coach who was leading Brentford, also gave a hand to Eriksen. Eriksen played for about five months, with one goal and four assists in 11 matches.
Eriksen was courted by many teams and his team of choice was Manchester United. He started as a starting member from his first season. His position was not as an attacking midfielder as Tottenham’s, but as a defensive midfielder. Even in that position, Eriksen showed his class as ever.
Eriksen’s position has completely changed this season. He has become distant from the starting lineup. He started as a starting member of Casemiro last season, but a teenage midfielder, Mainu, born in 2005, stood next to Casemiro this season. “Eriksen has played in only 95 minutes in the Premier League since the beginning of this year,” Tippsbladet said.
This season, United also recruited defensive midfielder Sofiane Amrabat from Fiorentina. Amrabat’s performance did not satisfy United, but Eriksen had another competitor.
Eriksen was pushed out of the starting lineup because the same flashes disappeared. When he played for Tottenham, he led the team’s attack with creative passes, but he is not like that anymore. As a defensive midfielder, he also lacks defense. Naturally, he was not chosen by Turn Haq.
“I feel good. I have more energy than usual and that’s probably because I didn’t play much,” Eriksen said after being called up to the Danish national team.
Eriksen, who did not play many matches at Manchester United, is also linked to several teams. “Eriksen is drawing attention from Galatasaray and reportedly had secret talks with Galatasaray last month,” the British media outlet The Sun said. “His former coach Frank also said that Eriksen is always welcome, which could be a good option for Brentford.”
Manchester United and Eriksen’s contract is not long until 2025. If Eriksen is not happy at Manchester United, he can move to another team this summer. 토토사이트 추천
