Erik ten Hag admitted it is impossible for Manchester United to replace Christian Eriksen after the midfielder was ruled out for at least three months.
Eriken will be out of action until late April or early May, after sustaining an anle injury in a challenge from Reading striker Andy Carroll in United's 3-1 FA Cup win on Saturday. The loss of Eriksen is a huge blow for United, with boss Ten Hag admitting there is no other player within his squad who can deliver the creativity provided by the Denmark international.
“Of course he's disappointed,” said Ten Hag. “We're disappointed, but it happens in top football and you have to deal with it. I think you can never fill that gap, because every player has his own characteristics and identification.
