Some Manchester United players are having a great time during the international break, while others are having a bad time.

Now, Christian Eriksen, who plays center for the same club, has done a great job for Denmark.
The Dane was the creative engine that powered his team to a 3-1 win over Kazakhstan in the Euro qualifiers.
Robert Skov scored twice and Jonas Wind scored the game-winning goal, but every serious attack by Denmark went through Eriksen. He finished the game with one assist, which was for Denmark’s third goal. However, he fully took over the game as a whole.This player touched the ball 104 times, and Denmark had 64% of the ball.
Eriksen showed every part of his game in this one. He made five important passes, threw five perfect long balls, and formed a big chance. Long passes were used to switch plays, slide rule passes were used to get past the defense, and clever footwork was used to get away from the press in the middle of the field.
Danmark’s next game is against San Marino, and because of how strong they are, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Eriksen doesn’t play.
After starting the season as a backup midfielder for Mason Mount, Bruno Fernandes, and Casemiro, he has become more important to the team. United has won a few games lately when this player came off the bench, so he will try to bring his international form back to Old Trafford.
In fact, Erik ten Hag could use him even more now that Casemiro hurt his ankle during the international break.
