Overview
- Christian Eriksen said Ruben Amorim’s past claim that United were “maybe the worst” in the club’s history “didn’t help at all” and added pressure on players.
- Eriksen, who left on a free to VfL Wolfsburg after 107 United appearances, described the dressing room as protected and family-like despite external noise.
- United beat Newcastle 1-0 on Boxing Day to move to sixth in the Premier League and sit three points off the top four after last season’s 15th-place finish.
- Ben Foster and Gary Neville questioned Amorim’s late defensive changes against Newcastle, warning such reshuffles can unsettle players during closing stages.
- Recent matches saw Amorim abandon his long-favored 3-4-3 for a back four, reflecting a pragmatic turn after earlier rigidity drew criticism.
