Christian Eriksen was caught off guard when discussing the controversial 2022 World Cup in Qatar after Manchester United teammate Bruno Fernandes suddenly slammed FIFA in a post-match interview.
The United duo had just helped their side to a dramatic 2-1 win away at Fulham on Sunday in their final Premier League match before the hotly-debated tournament beings, with Eriksen scoring the Red Devils' opening goal.
As distressing stories surrounding Qatar's abhorrent record on human rights continue to emerge and shroud the World Cup in further controversy in the lead-up to kick-off next Sunday, Fernandes boldly spoke out against FIFA's decision to award them with the competition back in 2010 and schedule it during the last two months of the year as opposed to summer.
