Christian Eriksen, a midfielder for Manchester United, was commended by Thomas Frank for “running the show” against his Brentford team at Old Trafford.
A 2-1 victory over Brentford on Saturday helped United lessen the burden on their struggling manager Erik ten Hag. United fought back from a goal behind to win the match.
As a result of a poor start to the season, which resulted in the Red Devils falling to 14th place in the Premier League, Manchester United is reported to have been evaluating Ten Hag’s possibility of being promoted to the position of manager during the international break.
When Brentford seized the lead on the stroke of halftime through Ethan Pinnock, Ten Hag may have been anticipating the worst. However, his squad came back after the break to secure a victory that was extremely important.
Before Rasmus Hojlund scored the game-winning goal with his first league goal of the season, Alejandro Garnacho equalized the score with a magnificent first-time finish from a cross that was provided by Marcus Rashford.
In his assessment of the match at Old Trafford, Brentford manager Frank referred to it as a “game of two halves.” He also singled out his fellow countryman Eriksen for praise, stating that he “ran the show.”
After the loss by a score of 2-1, he stated to BBC Sport that “there were a lot of things that went right for us from the beginning of the game.” “It was a game that fell into two halves.”
“The first half was pretty even, and we might have been slightly ahead of the game,” the coach said. Despite the fact that we were aware that they would start off strong, it is disheartening to note that they conceded two minutes into the second half. This is obviously not good enough.
“If they don’t score there, it’s possible that they will become more frustrated, and consequently, we will get more involved in the game, which is disappointing.” We did not perform at a level that was sufficient in the second half, but it is obvious that they should be given credit.
“I believe that we are capable of doing better; in order to win at Old Trafford, you need to play two good halves.” It is imperative that you have two strong halves since they have great players.
“I have to give credit to United; a few of their players have improved their performance, and Christian Eriksen was unquestionably the one who was in charge.”
We accomplished a lot of things well in the first half, which was extremely amazing; nevertheless, the second half is frustrating altogether because I know what these guys are capable of doing.
Ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, lauded his squad’s attitude to falling down, as well as the Old Trafford supporters for being committed to the club.
It was his statement that “we are happy to win the game.” The goal at United is to win games, but you also have to bring entertaining to the table.
I believe that everyone seemed to have a good time during the afternoon. In particular, the manner in which it occurred, when you conceded a goal that was not fair.
During the second half, we demonstrated that we are a cohesive unit, that we are determined, and that we scored two goals that were just stunning.
“I am overjoyed for all of our supporters. In spite of the fact that everyone is working against us, they are always on our side. They never abandon us and are always there to assist us.
Today, we would want to express our gratitude to them for being so supportive of us. I believe that they were one of the reasons why the game got off to a fast start after the halftime break.
As a result of their victory, Manchester United are now ranked tenth in the Premier League, while Brentford have fallen to the twelveth spot.
