Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen hails Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro
Christian Eriksen came in as a late replacement in Manchester United's starting XI against Nottingham Forest after Marcel Sabitzer had picked up an injury in warm up.
The Dane heaped praise on his midfield partners, Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro (via Express):
“They rare two exceptional players, and they know how to move and how to play balls, so it’s easy to fit in even when you’ve been away for a while."
Eriksen added:
“They helped me a lot, in general, (so has) the team; it’s been really good. So it’s easy to slot in. I’m sure we’ll be full of energy for both games and full of confidence to go into the (fixtures) and really win to go through in both tournaments. It will be two fun games.”
United, though, will miss Fernandes in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League quarterfinal against Sevilla on Thursday (Apri; 20).
The Portuguese picked up a yellow card in the first leg and has now garnered three yellow cards in the knockouts. He's suspended as a result. The first leg of the tie at Old Trafford ended in a 2-2 stalemate.
