With Manchester United's chances of qualifying for the Champions League on the line, they have had another minor injury problem, this time in the midfield. Scott McTominay is still injured, while Marcel Sabitzer, who was brought in on loan, has been declared season-ending. In addition, Donny van de Beek is still absent. As a result, Erik ten Hag's sole alternatives are to play Casemiro and Christian Eriksen together, with Fred having the ability to enter the game as needed.
Although the Brazilian and Danish players have improved upon the infamous McFred team, neither has been performing at their best lately. Given the number of games United has played this season, it makes sense that the former Real Madrid player would appear worn out. Eriksen's influence off the ball has not been as great as it was prior to his injury.
