Erik ten Hag must ‘IMMEDIATELY’ drop Christian Eriksen ahead of the upcoming clash with Arsenal next week, following his dismal performance in the 0-4 defeat to Crystal Palace. ?⚽

Manchester United’s woes deepened after their humiliating 0-4 defeat to Crystal Palace, and Christian Eriksen’s performance has become a major talking point. With a crucial clash against Arsenal looming next week, fans and pundits alike are urging manager Erik ten Hag to consider dropping the Danish playmaker.

Eriksen, brought in during the summer transfer window with much promise, failed to live up to expectations at Selhurst Park. His lack of impact in dictating the tempo of the game and his struggles to unlock a resolute Palace defense have fueled calls for his immediate exclusion from the starting lineup.

While Manchester United lacked overall cohesion as a team, Eriksen’s performance was particularly underwhelming. His passing lacked the usual creativity and vision associated with his name, and he was easily bypassed by the Palace midfield.

Erik ten Hag now faces a critical decision. Does he persist with Eriksen and risk another underwhelming performance against a resurgent Arsenal side, or inject fresh energy into the midfield for this crucial encounter?

There are options available to Ten Hag. Donny van de Beek, sidelined with injury for much of the season, could be nearing a return and provide a more dynamic presence in midfield. Alternatively, a tactical shift that utilizes Bruno Fernandes in a deeper role alongside a more defensively sound midfielder could be explored.

The upcoming match against Arsenal represents a significant test for Manchester United. A positive result could reignite their dwindling Champions League qualification hopes. However, a defeat against their rivals could further deepen the crisis engulfing the club. Dropping Eriksen might be a gamble, but it’s a gamble Ten Hag may have to take to shake things up and spark a much-needed turnaround.
