Overview
- Eriksen told The Times that Amorim’s harsh public remarks “didn’t help at all,” saying such messages should have been kept inside the dressing room.
- He was responding to Amorim’s January claim that United were “maybe the worst team in the history of Manchester United” after a run of poor results.
- Eriksen said players felt protected internally but faced heavy external noise from pundits, former players and fans that increased pressure.
- He described Amorim as very honest and committed to installing a specific system with defined roles that some players found difficult to adapt to.
- United have improved this season and sit three points off the top four after beating Newcastle on Boxing Day, while Eriksen departed in the summer for Wolfsburg after 107 appearances.
