‘HARD DECISION’ – Man Utd star Eriksen shows ‘stun face’ as being substituted in Twente clash and asks Erik ten Hag ‘me’ when number displayed

MANCHESTER UNITED were held at Old Trafford by FC Twente in a frustrating game – especially for Christian Eriksen.

The Dane started in midfield for United and opened the scoring on 35 minutes with a stunning strike.

Eriksen had a chance to put the ball in the top corner after Diogo Dalot was tackled in the Twente area.

But in the second half, he turned things around when he was caught in possession, which let Sam Lammers equalize in the 68th minute.

With five minutes left, Kobbie Mainoo took Eriksen’s place. The fact that Mainoo asked Erik ten Hag whether or not he was supposed to go off was unexpected.

And fans were quick to notice as one said: “Eriksen in disbelief. I’m confused by these subs, too.”

Another added: “Eriksen asking if he’s the one to be subbed??? Better get out of that stadium.”

One reacted: “Eriksen looks distraught that he’s coming off.”

Another said: “Eriksen asking “me” is HILARIOUS.”

Speaking after the game, Eriksen told TNT Sports: “I think mostly disappointed as a team, we wanted more in the end, far from good enough.

“They looked like they wanted it more – that can’t be right.”

On dressing room morale, he said: “I think everyone is looking at themselves, everyone is a professional footballer, they know what to do, what can’t happen.

“We don’t lose but it feels like a loss.”
