Christian Eriksen gives brutally honest interview after Man Utd draw vs FC Twente as he says 'that's can't be right'

He didn't hold back after Wednesday night's 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.

Christian Eriksen delivered a brutally honest post-match interview after the Manchester United midfielder was asked to reflect on their performance against FC Twente.

Erik ten Hag's side left Old Trafford with a point on Wednesday night after Sam Lammers cancelled out Eriksen's first-half opener.

It was a disappointing result for the home side, and Ten Hag received a hefty amount of criticism for his 'poorly-timed' second-half substitutions during the Europa League clash.

After the full-time whistle, a frustrated Eriksen made his feelings clear.

"We are mostly disappointed as a team," he told TNT Sports. "In the end, it was far from good enough. It was just said in the dressing room... it looked like they wanted it more than us and that can't be right.

"Personally, you score a goal and you think it's going to be the match winner but it didn't end up that way."

Eriksen added: "I think everyone is looking at themselves. We are professional footballers. We know it can't happen. We didn't lose but it feels like a loss. That's something that can't happen when you're at home."

It was a frustrating night at the office for Ten Hag and his United side, who took the lead in the 35th minute when the in-form Eriksen beat Lars Unnerstall.

Marcus Rashford looked at his sparkling best in spells but after a slow start to the second period, FC Twente equalised in the 68th minute when former Rangers forward Sam Lammers capitalised on a poor touch from Eriksen.

“We kept them alive, 1-0 up, controlling the game – you have to be consistent and keep going,” Ten Hag told TNT Sports after the full-time whistle.

“In the second half, we dropped the level [and] gave the goal away."

He added: “We didn’t finish it off; we had to go for the second goal, and so they stay alive, and we get punished with a mistake from ourselves.”

As mentioned earlier, Ten Hag was criticised for his substitutions and after the game, former AC Milan midfielder Ruud Gullit was critical of the United boss.

“I saw Erik ten Hag talking to [Alejandro] Garnacho all the time," he said. "The only thing a player is thinking during a moment like that is: ‘Dude, leave me alone’,”

Gullit added: "I am not surprised by the football Manchester United showed tonight. Why not? Because we are used to it by now… how many millions did Erik ten Hag invest in his team again?”
