Walking boot is pretty common, but the video looks like more worrisome.
Christian Eriksen has left Old Trafford on crutches
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
I don’t blame ETH, that’s madness. He picked a team to win, no risks. Could you imagine the meltdown if he rested most of the first XI and we lost. He’s respecting every opponent.
He’s fecking naive, you don’t need to play the same team in a cup comp against reading ffs. This isn’t the Dutch league, our players will burn out at this rate in the business end of the season.
Ty. Says a lot when you can't even recall the fact that Donny plays for us.
Maybe the guy who created "why do we play eriksen in a midfield two" thread will get their answers now
Naive
Couldn't make this shit up!Recall Amad.
The ex-scouser c*nts all have that in them. Reason why I dislike them even from my time in Holland.
An idiot behaving at least recklessly, if not maliciously, caused this injury. If it wasn’t Eriksen, it could’ve been anybody else. You’re disappointed just as I am, but I don’t think any manager should take any blame for putting out the team he thinks is best suited to get the job done. Not playing fit, healthy players out of fear of hoodlums can’t be a solution, can it?
The fecker tried the same on Cas too where he got the red card.
The cretinous scumbag was deliberately trying to injure our players. Hopefully he goes to jail and gets dealt with, the woman-beating coward.
Exactly. The solution must be to remove players like him from the game in general, not to weaken our lineup due to fear of injury.

On the bright side, we will get a midfielder or two in now.
Not enough time nor money, it seems.
Plenty of times these boots are precautionary things.
So let's see how a scan comes out before getting too silly.

Seemed like a high ankle sprain. Would guess a month out and that he won't play til March. Maybe if we're lucky he can make it for the cup final, but who would throw him in to that big of a game on the back of no game time? Realistically, it's Fred and Casemiro as the midfield pairing for pretty much every minute the next month now.
We shouldn't have gone with a near full team against frigging Reading
Can't do Tielemans loan as already done two domestic ones,can we maybe get Aouar on that sort of deal as it's a foreign one
Agree, it seems some are looking to jump on ETH. Maybe they were in the Poch camp and want to feel vindicated? I'm not sure but it certainly is strange.
Also, I do think Eriksens have dropped a little and Fred has been pretty reliable when he has played recently so hopefully we'll be okay.
Get Youri in.
See if we can Tielemans for cheap, or persuade Bayern to loan Gravenberch for the remainder of the season.
Maybe the injury is not as bad as it seems and it’s just ETH playing mid games with our board to get a player in before window closes 
We were missing 5 of our starters in the game, it was nowhere near a full team.
Blessing in disguise? He’s not been at his best lately. A time out may do him good.
Iqbal time maybe.
Mckennie is potentially going to Leeds for a Weghorst type loan fee. Worth hijacking if Eriksen is going to be out for a while.
I doubt it, we’ll just replace him with Fred/mctominay. The drop in creativity will be massive now though.
We dont have money which is a problem
I think we can totally afford a loan fee for someone like McKennie or low payout for someone like Tielemans IF ETH bangs the table asking for reinforcement.
Posts like this show a complete lack of understanding of eriksens role in the utd team and how crucial it is.
This is hilarious, “Naive”
Yes you’re right, performed like a brand new coach in his career to date with us
The key players were there ie Rashford, Casemiro, Eriksen and Bruno. If those picked injuries then we can kiss everything good bye. We simply lack the squad to win on all fronts. We therefore have to prioritise
Loan yes buy seems unlikely
I’m sure ETH knows better who he needs or doesn’t need to play than some random armchair expert on RedCafe. Injuries tend to happen in sport.
The tackle was awful. The ref knew it, too, because he booked Carroll for that innocuous push on Malacia a few minutes later. Shithouse.
People will see just how important Eriksen is to Ten Hag’s way of playing if this is a long absence. He needs reinforcements.

If he's out for a serious length of time, there's no way to dress it up as anything but a massive disaster. Our midfield was thin, and he is one of the key men in this team.
Naive?! Jesus give it a rest you nutter
Will be a big loss, hopefully not for too long. Was glad to read it was his ankle, I thought it was his knee he had hurt due to the challenge.
Injuries like this happen, it's part of the game, a shocker of a challenge mind you.
That being said it was unnecessary to play such a strong team.

It sucks but there might be more minutes now for Iqbal/Mainoo. I remember when we were all out of strikers and LvG was forced to try out some kid from the academy, turned out to be a pretty good player.
