Manchester United player Christian Eriksen delivers verdict after returning from injury against Everton

Christian Eriksen says it "felt good" to be back out on the pitch after returning from injury for Manchester United against Everton at Old Trafford.

The midfielder was named in the matchday squad by manager Erik ten Hag for the first time since being forced off against Reading in the FA Cup fourth round. After missing 16 matches, Eriksen returned as a second-half substitute for the final quarter of an hour on Saturday afternoon.

Replacing Jadon Sancho, the Denmark international came on minutes after Anthony Martial had doubled United's lead after being introduced from the bench. The return of Eriksen was a welcome injury boost for mere moments, though, as the sight of Marcus Rashford limping off with an apparent groin injury soon overshadowed it.
