Christian Eriksen aims high in final year at Man Utd

Christian Eriksen, the 32-year-old midfielder, has expressed his commitment to Manchester United as he enters the final year of his contract. After a summer filled with speculation about potential moves to Ajax and Anderlecht, Eriksen remained with United and quickly secured a starting position. He made his first start of the season in a 3-0 victory against Southampton, followed by an impressive performance where he scored two goals in a 7-0 win over Barnsley in the Carabao Cup. Eriksen emphasized his satisfaction with his current situation at United, stating that he feels good and is focused on giving his all this season. He acknowledged the challenges of discussing playing time with manager Erik Ten Hag, especially given the competitive nature of the midfield. Instead, he prefers to concentrate on hard work and consistency in performance. Since Eriksen's inclusion in the starting lineup, United has shown a remarkable turnaround, scoring ten goals without conceding. This resurgence comes after a difficult period marked by a loss to Brighton and a heavy defeat to Liverpool. Eriksen highlighted the importance of maintaining this momentum as the team prepares for their upcoming Premier League match against Crystal Palace. Despite the external pressures and discussions surrounding the club, Eriksen maintained that his focus remains on the team and its performance. He noted that while international breaks can create a disconnect from club affairs, the atmosphere and support from fans during matches have been uplifting, contributing to the team's morale as they aim for continued success.
