Christian Eriksen is really a big bright spot for Man Utd this season

Man Utd continued to go through a difficult match when visiting Porto in the second round of the 2024/25 Europa League. In the end, they only got a 3-3 draw.

In this match, Christian Eriksen continued to make a strong impression. He was the one who had 2 assists for Marcus Rashford to open the score and Harry Maguire to equalize 2-2.

In the 90 minutes against Porto, Eriksen won 3/4% of duels, 100% of successful dribbles, 87% of accurate passes, made 10 crosses, created 6 key passes (most in the match), 2 tackles and had 2 assists.

Eriksen has directly participated in 3 of Man Utd’s 4 goals in the Europa League this season (1 goal and 2 assists). “Becoming very important to this team,” writes Statman Dave.

Clearly, Man Utd can rest assured that he is still a reliable and consistent option.

A lot of Man United fans consider him to be one of the best players from the performance, as they reacted on X (Twitter).

Scrub King: “Eriksen is massive for this team , but surprising they are so reliant on him.”

DJ: “Super unappreciated.”

Eugene A.Mensah: “Just bench Bruno. Nature has given you reasons to bench him yet you still want to play him.”

Essoxp: “Our only Midfielder with a mature working brain.”

DaxUtd: “Cannot understate how embarrassing it is that our best signing under ten Hag has been Eriksen simply cause he was ‘free’.”

The crazy thing is that at the beginning of the season, it seemed like Eriksen was written out of Erik ten Hag’s plans when he was put on the transfer list. From being almost forgotten in the Manchester United squad, the Danish midfielder has surprised everyone by continuously starting.
