Dundee United goalkeeper Saku Eriksson has admitted that life at Tannadice this season 'hasn't been fun' as a result of the humiliating losses to Celtic and AZ Alkmaar so far in the current campaign.
Eriksson joined United from Mjallby AIF in January on a free transfer and has joined Australian keeper Mark Birighitti in a bid to replace Benjamin Siegrist, who joined Celtic on similar terms earlier in the window. Initially acting as backup to Birighitti this season, the Socceroo was dropped from the squad after being the man between the sticks for the 7-0 humiliation in Alkmaar and a 4-1 drubbing at the hands of Hearts.
Eriksson was brought into stop the rot, albeit his debut couldn't have gone much worse with a 3-0 home defeat to St Mirren that saw the players booed off. And, if he thought that the only way was up from there, the one-time Finland international would have to think again just a week later when Celtic put nine past him at Tannadice. And, with the Tangerines currently managerless, bottom of the league and without a win in six league games, Eriksson has admitted that his start to life on the Firth of Tay has been nothing short of abysmal.
