Overview
- Christian Eriksen told The Times that Ruben Amorim's 'maybe the worst' assessment 'didn't help at all' and was unhelpful for the squad.
- Amorim made the remark in January after a 3-1 home defeat to Brighton, citing just two wins in ten league games and calling the side 'maybe the worst' in club history.
- Eriksen said criticism like that should stay inside the club to avoid adding labels and pressure on players who were already trying to block out external noise.
- The Denmark international left on a free in the summer to join Wolfsburg after 107 United appearances, including 22 under Amorim.
- United have improved this season, sitting sixth with 29 points after their Boxing Day win over Newcastle and three points off the top four following last season's 15th-place finish.
