Manchester United fans have reacted furiously to the news that Christian Eriksen risks missing the rest of the season through injury.

Eriksen will be out for at least three months with an ankle injury sustained at the weekend.

The Danish star was on the end of a tough challenge from Reading striker Andy Carroll during Man Utd’s 3-1 win in the FA Cup at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Eriksen left the ground on crutches and United have now confirmed he won’t be back until the end of April or beginning of May at the earliest.

What did Man Utd say?

"Christian Eriksen is expected to be out of action for an extended period because of an ankle injury sustained in our FA Cup victory over Reading on Saturday,” a statement from Man Utd read.

"Our Danish midfielder was withdrawn in the second half of the 3-1 win after being caught by a tackle from Reading striker Andy Carroll. While investigations are continuing, initial assessments indicate that Eriksen is likely to be out until late April or early May.

"Eriksen’s absence will be a big disappointment to manager Erik ten Hag and fans given the consistency of his performances throughout the season so far. However, there is hope that Christian can return in time to play a role in the final stages of the season. We all wish Christian the best of luck for a speedy recovery!"

With the very real risk that Eriksen won’t be back to full fitness this season, Man Utd fans have urged the club to make a late midfield signing on Deadline Day.

However, most fans accept that this is very unlikely as club owners The Glazers are unwilling to invest given they are in talks to sell the club.

This has prompted a barrage of angry posts on Twitter from Man Utd fans.
