Manchester United legend Michael Carrick claims “he’s not surprised by Christen Eriksen’s form.
Michael Carrick is in awe of Christian Eriksen this season because he went from one cool, calm, and collected ex-Manchester United midfielder to a current player using those same traits.
Following the ‘Legends of the North’ match between former Manchester United and Liverpool players last weekend, Michael Carrick was all praise for Christian Eriksen, a recent summer acquisition.
Since the loss of Carrick, who announced his retirement in 2018, United has needed a midfielder with Eriksen’s skills, and the Englishman is a major fan of United’s no.14.
In an interview with MUTV on Saturday, Carrick said, “I’m not surprised in the least by Eriksen’s form).
“I played against him a lot; I watched him a lot,” he continued. I really enjoy him. He plays excellent football. He is clever and intelligent.
Eriksen has provided assistance twice since moving to Old Trafford, and his best period in Red came in October, when he was awarded United’s player of the month.
Erik ten Hag has frequently used Eriksen deeper in midfield alongside Scott McTominay, despite the fact that the Danish player has spent the majority of his career playing behind the striker.
It virtually doesn’t matter what position he plays, Carrick said in response to Ten Hag’s selection for Eriksen. He is adaptable. He’s just a really good football player who is clever and intelligent.
“I was happy when we signed him, and he hasn’t surprised me in the least,” added Carrick. He is a top athlete.
The 41-year-old is presently taking a vacation from sport after taking over as interim manager of United in three games last season after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was fired.
Carrick served as Jose Mourinho’s first deputy manager and then the Norwegian’s manager between that time and 2018.
