Erik ten Hag has explained his decision to start Christian Eriksen for Manchester United against Chelsea on Saturday.
Eriksen was recovering from a bout of sickness when Tottenham visited Old Trafford earlier in the week and that gave Fred the opportunity to make the starting line up, alongside fellow countryman Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes in midfield.
Although Fred was poor against Newcastle, he was outstanding against Tottenham and he also scored the game's opening goal, but that has not stopped Ten Hag from dropping him to the bench at Chelsea, with Eriksen coming back into the side.
