April 08, (THEWILL) – Erik Ten Hag is confident that the returning Casemiro and Christian Eriksen will significantly enhance Manchester United’s prospects of winning more silverware this season.
The Red Devils have already secured the Carabao Cup and are still in contention in the FA Cup and UEFA Europa League. However, their English Premier League performance has faltered recently, putting their bid for a UEFA Champions League place next season in jeopardy.
Ten Hag believes that the midfield department is crucial, and it took several games to find a new balance, but the club is in a good position. Eriksen is set to return to the squad after suffering a serious ankle injury, while Casemiro is nearing the end of his suspension. The manager remains optimistic about the team’s final stage of the season, and he hopes to add to their trophy cabinet.
Ten Hag also provided an update on Alejandro Garnacho’s fitness, saying that the young winger will be back before the season’s end. The manager, however, did not reveal the precise timeline of Garnacho’s return, as he aims to avoid putting pressure on the player and medical team.
Argentina is also bidding to host the FIFA Under-20 World Cup, and if they are selected, Garnacho could be called back into the national team.
