A PAIR OF ACES

ERIK TEN HAG believes the imminent return of Christian Eriksen and Casemiro will give his Manchester United side a huge boost going into the business end of the season.

Eriksen makes his long-awaited comeback from an ankle injury sustained in late January against Everton today.

And while he is likely to start on the bench, the sight of the Denmark international off the treatment table and back in a United shirt could not come at a better time, according to his manager.

United face seven matches in April which will go a long way to defining their season, with two Cup clashes against Sevilla and Brighton and four Premier League games before the end of the month.

And while Ten Hag praised the contribution of those who have filled in, the manager admitted that he has struggled at times to find the right balance since the pair were ruled out.
