Christian Eriksen on Manchester United fans' reaction to Joshua Zirkzee's substitution
Christian Eriksen has shared his thoughts on Manchester United fans booing Johsua Zirkzee during his substitution against Newcastle United on Monday. He said that the fans could've turned on all of the United players due to their performance but Zirkzee ended up being the unlucky one.
The Red Devils hosted Newcastle at Old Trafford in the Premier League on December 30. They found themselves trailing within four minutes as Alexander Isak scored via a header from close range. The Magpies doubled their lead 15 minutes later as Joelington found the back of the net.
As the visitors piled on the pressure, Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim decided to substitute Zirkzee with Kobbie Mainoo. As soon as the announcement was made in the stadium, the United fans cheered and booed towards the Dutchman, who went straight into the tunnel.
