Christian Eriksen will return to Manchester United’s matchday squad for Saturday’s Premier League game against Everton after recovering from an ankle injury Erik ten Hag feared would cause him to miss the rest of the season.

Eriksen was caught by a tackle from Reading striker Andy Carroll during United’s 3-1FA Cup win on January 28 and left Old Trafford on crutches. He has not featured for Ten Hag’s side since.

The 30-year-old had been a key figure for United before his absence, recording seven assists and scoring once in 19 Premier League appearances.

Eriksen looked set to be out of action for three months and although happy he has returned ahead of schedule, Ten Hag is still upset at how the injury was caused.

“I was so angry about that tackle,” the United manager said. “It was a really bad tackle and a bad injury. I thought we lost him for the whole season.

“He is ahead of schedule and we are very happy with that.”
