However, the primary focus for every United fan is on victory at Craven Cottage, in order to sign off in style. The setback at Aston Villa last weekend was followed with an exciting 4-2 success against the Midlanders in the Carabao Cup, and there was real conviction in Eriksen’s answers about the task in hand.
“[It’s] very, very big,” he told club media. “Take away the last game at Villa, we were so disappointed and, on Thursday, to be back on track, it was good to get the win to go through and now, to finish off before the World Cup, we want to finish off as high as possible, and that’s with a win.
“One hundred per cent, I think everyone will be [fully focused]. I think everyone wants to finish well and finish in good shape before the World Cup but also, as a club, it’s where we want to start when we come back from the World Cup. We want to be in the best position possible and that’s with three points at Fulham. I’m looking forward to the game.”
