Manchester United’s Christian Eriksen sends Andy Carroll message after returning from injury caused by his foul

Christian Eriksen insists he would not look for revenge on Andy Carroll as he returns from an injury caused by the Reading striker.

Eriksen suffered an ankle injury in the FA Cup fourth-round win over Reading at the end of January, following a reckless challenge by Carroll - who was eventually sent off for two bookable offences. The Dane walked off the Old Trafford pitch but assessments the following week confirmed the worst, with an initial return date set for April.

And so it came to pass that he returned off the bench in Saturday's 2-0 win over Everton, although his two-month absence meant he missed out on the Carabao Cup final win over Newcastle and two rounds of Europa League action. Despite that, the United man has not held a grudge over Carroll.
