Man United Coach, Ten Hag Hails Return Of Casemiro & Eriksen

Christian Eriksen and Casemiro’s return has been praised by Erik ten Hag as Manchester United strives to finish in the top four of the Premier League.

Despite a good start in 2023, Man Utd’s Premier League campaign has recently encountered a minor setback. After being trounced 7-0 by their bitter rivals Liverpool, the Red Devils drew 0-0 with Southampton before Casemiro was sent out and given a four-match suspension. Then, Newcastle took care of business at St. James’ Park by winning 2-0 to get revenge for losing to United in the Carabao Cup final. But, things are improving after a recent victory over Brentford, and Ten Hag will soon benefit from the arrivals of Casemiro and Eriksen.

Ten Hag has hailed the return of the two midfielders who were so important to United’s success early on in the campaign. He said: “It’s obvious and clear they are two very valuable players for us and especially so in midfield, we all know how important the midfield department is.”

Eriksen has been absent for the best part of three months with an injury picked up against Reading in the FA Cup, and Ten Hag was full of praise for the Danish midfielder. “He is always composed on the ball. You can always find him, so in the progressing of the game and he has key actions. He has key passes, the final pass, so I think that brings a lot to a team.”

The Red Devils have three games in eight days as they face Everton and Nottingham Forest either side of a Europa League quarter-final clash with Sevilla.
