Christian Eriksen set for new Man United role after surprise twist - fans react

Man United fans have encouraged the club to play Christian Eriksen in a new position after his impressive Denmark performance.

The 32-year-old scored and provided an assist on Tuesday (15 October) as Denmark drew 2-2 against Switzerland in the Nations League.

His impressive individual performance caught the eye of United fans watching the game as they began pushing for Erik ten Hag to play him in a different position.

The central midfielder has become a regular in United’s team this season, scoring three goals and providing three assists in eight matches across all competitions.

However, Ten Hag has typically used him as either a box-to-box or defensive midfielder rather than a more attacking position.

Eriksen is out of contract at the end of this season at Old Trafford, but United fans believe he could offer much more to the team for the remainder of this campaign.

Man United fans want to see Christian Eriksen in a more attacking role

United fans praised Eriksen for having a “phenomenal season” but also stressed that they would like to see Bruno Fernandes dropped for him this weekend when they play Brentford.

Captain fantastic! Eriksen leading by example #MUFC #Denmark— Haris (@harischadhar786) October 16, 2024

It's really absurd to believe a club like Man United can finish 8th simply because the players are bad.

There's something far more rotten in the system, and pretending it's just a matter of talent on the pitch is very delusional. https://t.co/ABKtqtOAco— Oliver (@Oliveresuana) October 16, 2024

Is it a bit worrying that Eriksen seems to score more frequently than Hojlund for Denmark? ???? https://t.co/XVM9VwKfv1— Cameron (@CL9268) October 16, 2024

Unc deserves to start in brunos spot with manu and kobbie behind https://t.co/FMlPsqHjiV— tyra (@tyra_utd) October 16, 2024

He needs to play as 10 and bruno need a rest https://t.co/ES6Wv1VNaV— Ahmed Shahin (@fplmagnifico911) October 16, 2024

He's having a phenomenal season btw

You'd think NeTenyahu would drop Bruno and play him in the 10 till Bruno picks form but…… https://t.co/ihZvb4wnWd— Nnamdi (@Dozy_diablo) October 16, 2024

That's 8 G/A in the last 9 games for club and country.

Unc still got it!!???? https://t.co/lQu5dcl6PP— Sossi (@kompliketa) October 16, 2024
