Man Utd boss Ten Hag: Eriksen ahead of schedule

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has again taken aim at Andy Carroll for Christian Eriksen's ankle injury.

Eriksen is set to return after being sidelined since their FA Cup win against Reading.

"It was not for nothing I was so angry about that tackle," said Ten Hag ahead of their clash with Everton. "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."

"It's an injury you have to see over days how it progresses," he added.

"Sometimes you underestimate this injury but I think Luke did quite well, he knows his body and he went off in the right moment before taking more damage.

"In this moment we are quite positive about him returning quickly."

Ten Hag also stated Luke Shaw will miss the game after being taken off in the midweek win against Brentford.

"It's an injury you have to see over days how it progresses," he added.

"Sometimes you underestimate this injury but I think Luke did quite well, he knows his body and he went off in the right moment before taking more damage.

"In this moment we are quite positive about him returning quickly."
