EURO 2024: Danes Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund Can Shine Together Despite Manchester United Struggles, Says Morten Wieghorst
News 18The Danish duo of Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund will show the benefits of playing together for Manchester United at Euro 2024 despite plenty of turbulence at the Premier League club this past season, according to assistant coach Morten Wieghorst. Wieghorst, a former Denmark midfielder who is now part of Kasper Hjulmand’s backroom team, said that playing and training together would give the pair a better understanding as they take on Slovenia, England and Serbia in Group C in Germany. “To try and utilise those relationships that players can have from their club situations is always a benefit, especially when you’re talking about great players like Christian and Rasmus,” Wieghorst told Reuters in a recent interview before the team departed for Germany. “They were playing together and bringing those relationships back to the national team, which is a great thing – even in the 1992 Euro-winning team we had seven or eight players with relationships back to Brondby, and that’s something that can be utilised,” he said.
