Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw by Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Wednesday night (January 18). The Red Devils drew first blood through Bruno Fernandes in the 44th minute, but the goal was created by United’s summer recruit Eriksen.
The Dane made a smart run down the left-hand channel to get on the end of Marcus Rashford’s return pass, before laying it off to Fernandes inside the Palace box. The Portuguese ace sidefooted the ball into the back of the net.
Speaking to MUTV after the game, Bruno Fernandes lauded his midfield partner Eriksen.
Highlighting the former Tottenham Hotspur man’s greatest qualities, Fernandes said:
Eriksen has taken part in 28 games for the Red Devils in the 2022-23 season across competitions, scoring twice and claiming nine assists.
Gary Neville backs Arsenal to beat Manchester United in upcoming Premier League clash
Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United will take on Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in a much-anticipated Premier League encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon (January 22).

United legend Gary Neville has claimed that the Brazilian midfielder’s absence will be a massive boost for the Gunners and has backed them to come out on top.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Neville said:
He concluded by saying:
Arsenal currently sit at the top of the Premier League table with 47 points from 18 games. They have an eight-point lead over Manchester United despite playing a game less than them.
