Ex-Man Utd midfielder on Amorim split: Maybe not his kind of player | OneFootball

Christian Eriksen revisited Ruben Amorim's time at Manchester United and confessed that he might not have been the player "suited" for the coach's options. The midfielder admitted that they always had a "decent" relationship, but he might not have been the ideal footballer.

"As a player, I didn't feel that he would look at me. Of course, things become difficult in football terms. Now, on a personal level, we had a decent relationship. Maybe I wasn't the type of player suited for his style of play," he mentioned in statements to Sky Sports, considering Michael Carrick's arrival as an opportunity for all the players at the Red Devils.

"A new coach brings new ideas and it's an opportunity for everyone again. I hope that's the case for everyone, whether it's Kobbie Mainoo or another player. I hope the club succeeds," he added. Christian Eriksen was a starter only on seven occasions under Ruben Amorim's leadership, between November 2024 and May 2025.

At the end of the last season, Manchester United announced that they would not renew the Danish player's contract. He arrived at Old Trafford in 2022. Last season, he played 34 matches, scoring five goals and providing four assists.

As for Ruben Amorim, it should be noted that the coach left Manchester United after a draw against Leeds and a press conference that marked his departure. Before his experience in England, he spent about six seasons in charge of Sporting, during which he won three Championships, two League Cups, one Portuguese Cup, and one Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup. Recently, rumors of a possible return have emerged.
