Alan Pardew claims Erik ten Hag is completely misusing one Man United midfielder
Alan Pardew has given his verdict on the performance of Manchester United attacking midfielder Christian Eriksen against Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.
The former Newcastle United and West Ham United manager thinks that Erik ten Hag did not use Eriksen the right way.
So, what has Alan Pardew said about Christian Eriksen? Let’s take a look.
Alan Pardew reacts to Christian Eriksen display for Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Well, Manchester United took on Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday.
The match ended in a 2-2 draw. Spurs were the better team and played better football.
Former Tottenham playmaker Christian Eriksen started the match for United. The Danish star was deployed as one of the two holding midfielders alongside Kobbie Mainoo.
Alan Pardew thinks that United manager 🅺Erik ten Hag is not using Eriksen properly.
🉐The talkSPORT pundit noted that Eriksen did not get oඣn the ball enough to make a difference.
The 31-year-old Denmark international attacking midfielder played 🔜two keꦅy passes, had a pass accuracy of 81.3%, took 22 touches, made one tackle and one clearance, and put in three crosses.
Pardew said about Eriksen on : “When I looked at United today, I was like, ‘When are they going to get Eriks💦en on the ball?’ Where is the formula to kind of get him some space, get him cre♍ating passes?
“I mean, all he d𝕴id all day was just track and run, and he can’t do that. That’s not anꦬything he can do that is strong in his game.”
My View: Christian Eriksen needs to be played to his strength
Christian Eriksen is an at🍃tacking midfielder, but Manchester United manager Erik te꧙n Hag has used the former Tottenham Hotspur star mostly .
I understand that Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes are similar players. Both are best used as a number 10. It is the Portuguese star who is the playmaker-in-chief for United.
Maybe United should not have signed Eಞrik🌺sen in the first place if they were not going to play him to his strength.
