Man Utd playmaker Eriksen: Outside speculation tough for young players

Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen admitted frustration after their 1-1 draw with Burnley.

The Swede says, however, the spirit within the squad is strong.

He told Viaplay: "It's a big messy shop if you only follow from the outside.

"I would say that we are well protected. The club and the players have a good community, so in that way we protect each other.

"But of course there is a lot going on around the club, and if you open the media a little too much once in a while, you can easily fall into it.

"But that is special. It is hard to read. I'm sure it's very hard for the younger players. When you join the game, you have to go through this. It is something else.

"There is really nothing to be done about it. It is a big club and there is a lot of focus.

"When things go well, it's heaven, and when things go badly, it's hell."
