Christian Eriksen, playing in Manchester United's midfield during the 2023-2024 season, brings a variety of strengths and weaknesses to the field. Comfortable in multiple midfield roles, his versatility is a significant asset. Eriksen's ability to create chances and maintain goal efficiency reflects his smart offensive play where he sets up and finishes plays above average. His progressive passing is strong, indicating his prowess in moving the ball forward dynamically. Further, a solid number of touches and good pass accuracy highlight his integral role in maintaining possession, and he also contributes decently to assists, proving himself a valued member in the attacking process.
However, room does exist for improvement concerning his defensive duties. Eriksen's low percentile scores in one-vs-one defending and penalty area defending suggest that these areas represent marked challenges for him, and his aerial dueling and general dueling win percentages are also significantly low, implying he tends to lose physical challenges. This may leave his team vulnerable in crucial defensive situations. Also, his ball retention and recovery, coupled with goal threat indicate that they are just average, showing another facet for potential enhancement.
Despite being 31, his performance remains reasonably strong, especially in playmaking metrics, but focus on improving his defensive skills could unlock a higher level of overall performance. His below-average progress in carrying the ball forwards might also need some attention to enhance his offensive impact.
