Harry Maguire has praised Christian Eriksen for 'taking the sting' out of the game in Manchester United's win against Everton.
Eriksen suffered an ankle injury against Reading in the FA Cup in late January and he made his return from the sidelines against Everton on Saturday afternoon when replacing Jadon Sancho with around 15 minutes remaining in the game. The midfielder only returned to full training earlier in the week and he received a warm reception when entering the pitch.
Although United had a two-goal advantage when Eriksen was substituted on for Sancho, he helped to control the game in the latter stages of the contest and Maguire thought his contribution from the bench was important.
