Christian Eriksen Gives Blunt Assessment of Manchester United’s Style After Frustrating FC Twente Draw
Christian Eriksen gave a blunt response when asked about Manchester United’s style of play following their 1-1 draw with FC Twente in the Europa League.
Eriksen, who scored United’s only goal in the match, admitted that the team lacked control and sharpness, especially compared to their previous performances.
When asked if it felt like United were on the verge of establishing a clear identity and free-scoring form, Eriksen simply replied, “Not today.”
Although United dominated much of the first half and Eriksen’s goal gave them the lead, they failed to capitalize on their chances, allowing Twente to equalize in the second half.
Eriksen expressed his frustration, saying it was “the worst feeling” to concede a goal after dominating without finishing off the game.
He contrasted this with their better performances, such as against Crystal Palace and Barnsley, where the team had felt more in control. However, against Twente, Eriksen admitted that United struggled to maintain the same level of sharpness and positional discipline.
The draw is a setback for Erik ten Hag, who has been trying to instill consistency and a clear style of play in his team. With an important Premier League match against Tottenham next, United will need to address these issues quickly if they are to turn their season around.
