Monday afternoon in a large city of Manchester market. Sunlight beating through the streets. Table table, bench and seats outside the cafes taken. Faces feeling the warmth of the sun.
It was the day after Derby Manchester, in which, six miles down the road to Old Trafford, the two Manchester clubs played a draw with no results for the first time in five years.
There were many consequences and conversations after this result. But the mood on the streets of Alrincham seemed to be raised by the glorious weather.
Heavenly They are inside the toast, a cozy cafe that had closed its doors to the public as we were patiently waiting to reach Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hoylund.
The phrase ‘coffee is always a good idea’ is decorated on a red brick pole near where we were sitting. The atmosphere was calm and quiet.
Hojlund ordered a hood with oat milk, but Eriksen went for water. He has never been one for coffee, as he told me before we sat down to talk about the Manchester United season.
No player left his disappointment as the two tried to explain and understand why it was so difficult to return things.
The club’s Europa League hopes it is still alive after a 2-2 draw for Lyon in the first match of their quarterfinals on Thursday, but the night ended in a low note as Andre Onana’s second mistake saw them lose their lead at the time of detention.

Eriksen is in his third season in Manchester United after joining Ruben Amorim Eric Ten Hag.
“When I arrived with ten hag, it was definitely a different style of play, a little by another philosophy of playing,” he says.
“Now, it’s a bit of another system and you have to fit it. Often, when you’re in a season, it’s tougher to turn things because everyone is already in the manager’s rhythm before, but I think you are seeing a progress.

“People are getting more accustomed to the system, the positions they are playing in. It is more to get that proper transformation in a good way.”
Sitting along with his Denmark friend International, Hoylund adds: “I think if you ask the manager, he wants it to be done tomorrow.
“But it’s the same thing for us. We want to make it as good as possible and we want to change it as soon as possible. There is no recipe for these kinds of things. It comes with time.”

Hojlund is aware of the need for improvement, but Amorim said the lack of goals is a “team problem” and not Manchester United’s No. 9 at the beginning of the year.
Hoylund is grateful for the support of his manager and determined to change his fate.

“This is what we are trying to do every day, being interested in learning new things, wanting to be better.

“I’m sure Rasmus has found his way in some way, and, as he said, you always have to learn and develop.

Hoylund goes on: “I knew it was part of the package when I signed up. What is what it is. Part of the story of being Manchester United player.

What is the most important tips of the tips that Eriksen would give his newest himself or a player like Hoylund now?
