Christian Eriksen has aimed a sly dig at Manchester United’s underperforming players.
After their 2-1 win over Liverpool on Monday, the former Tottenham and Inter Milan midfielder suggested that Manchester United’s previous losses were because some players did not want to run and play football.
According to the Dane, the players the manager fielded on Monday night were willing to play football.
The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and captain were not selected in Erik ten Hag’s first eleven for the 2-1 win.
Speaking to club media, the Dane said: “Of course, with the South American and a bit of Spanish style there was a lot of passion towards the defensive side, but also the offensive side, we tried to do whatever we could.
“We have some very quick players and how we played today, and how Liverpool play, suited us as well.
“It’s great to play with players who want to play football and run.”
