According to the Dailymail , midfielder Christian Eriksen is about to return soon for Man Utd after returning to training with the first team. This is good news for the "Red Devils" after 3 matches without knowing the taste of victory in the Premier League (lost 0-7 to Liverpool, drew 0-0 with Southampton and lost 0-2 to Newcastle).
Eriksen has been sidelined since late January 2023 due to ligament damage in his left ankle following a tackle by Reading's Andy Carroll in the Red Devils' FA Cup win at Old Trafford.

Eriksen was initially expected to be out until the end of April but has now recovered faster than expected. Coach Erik Ten Hag revealed that the Danish midfielder returned to training yesterday (April 4) but is unlikely to be fit to play against Brentford (April 6).
"Not tomorrow but he will be back on the pitch, he was back training with the team today, so we will see how quickly he recovers to decide," said coach Ten Hag.
The Dutch tactician also stressed that Man Utd's midfield is weakened by the absence of Eriksen due to injury and Casemiro due to suspension. "They are two quality players. In the midfield, matches are always decided in midfield, when you are missing two players the quality is obviously reduced. But you have a team, if you do not have them, you still have to win," coach Ten Hag added.
Another piece of good news for Man Utd is that right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka has also returned to training after being absent due to illness in the 0-2 loss to Newcastle last weekend.
