Man Utd star Eriksen was in disbelief when substituted against FC Twente, asking Erik ten Hag, “ME?” after seeing his shirt number shown.
FC Twente had a difficult game against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Christian Eriksen had a bad game.
The Dane started for United in the middle and scored the first goal with a stunning strike in the 35th minute.
Diogo Dalot was subbed out in the Twente box, but Eriksen got the ball and put it in the top corner.
But things turned around for him in the second half when he was caught with the ball, which led to Sam Lammers’ equalizer in the 68th minute.
With ten minutes left, Kobbie Mainoo took over for Eriksen, but he asked Erik ten Hag if he was supposed to leave.
Fans quickly noticed; one wrote, “Eriksen can’t believe it.” “These subs also make no sense to me.”
“Is Eriksen asking if he’s the one to be subbed?” asked someone else. “You should leave that stadium right away.”
“Eriksen looks upset that he’s coming off,” said one.
“I think Eriksen asking “me” is HILARIOUS,” said someone else.
Eriksen told TNT Sports after the game, “I think we’re mostly disappointed as a team. We wanted more in the end; it wasn’t even close.”These people seemed to want it more, which isn’t possible.
He said about the mood in the locker room, “I think everyone is looking at themselves. Everyone is a professional footballer, so they know what to do and what can’t happen.”
“We don’t lose but it feels like a loss.”
