With Manchester United having won their first trophy since 2017 last month - overcoming Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley - the club's supporters have had a lot to smile about in recent weeks. It got even better when Christian Eriksen issued a positive injury update on Wednesday.
The Danish midfielder took to Instagram to provide fans with an update on his comeback from an ankle injury - revealing that he is back wearing football boots once again after two months out on the sidelines. The 31-year-old was forced to leave Old Trafford on crutches in January after being on the wrong end of Andy Carroll's reckless challenge during United's 3-1 FA Cup win against Reading.
It was confirmed that Eriksen would be out for up to three months, although it was initially feared that the former Tottenham and Brentford man would not play again before the end of the campaign. His diagnosis - and the absence of Donny van de Beek - led to Erik ten Hag signing Marcel Sabitzer on loan from Bayern Munich in January, with the Reds clearly struggling for options in the middle of the park.
