Manchester United were handed a big morale boost this week when Christian Eriksen returned to team training.
The Dane took to the Carrington pitches again prior to Wednesday’s 1-0 win over Brentford before being photographed taking part in team drills once more on Thursday. Eriksen has not played since sustaining an ankle ligament injury in January’s FA Cup clash with Reading.
His absence prompted Erik ten Hag to facilitate a loan move for Marcel Sabitzer from Bayern Munich for the rest of the season. Eriksen’s return to training was welcomed by swathes of United fans who underlined how greatly the team had missed him in midfield.
