Posted by It would be challenging for Manchester United to accomplish anything significant with Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen serving as their midfield anchors, according to former Tottenham Hotspur player Danny Murphy.
Although the Portuguese and the Swede, respectively, are excellent midfielders and outstanding distributors of the ball, he claims that they lack a defensive mindset.
After defeating Bournemouth 3-0 in their most recent Premier League match, Manchester United are now only one point behind third-place Newcastle United.
After losing to Brentford and Brighton in their first two games of the season, the Red has improved under Erik ten Hag.
With players like Fernandes and Eriksen in command of the midfield, Murphy contends that the Red Devils cannot win the Premier League or the Champions League.
“Despite the fact that Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes are both fantastic, creative footballers who have won Champions Leagues and Premier Leagues at the highest level of the game, you cannot win the league with them in the same midfield. They aren’t defensive enough, he said, according to talkSPORT.
