At the World Cup, Denmark will have support from Manchester United’s “sexiest fan,” but Christian Eriksen isn’t the reason why.
After experiencing a heart episode while competing for Denmark at Euro 2020, Eriksen made a spectacular comeback by signing with United in the summer. But Katrina Maria, a devoted Red Devils fan, didn’t choose to support the Danes in Qatar because of the 30-year-old midfielder.
When she started watching games with pals, Katrina fell in love with United. Additionally, she frequently updates her Instagram account with racy pictures in the club’s colours for her devoted followers.
She chose to declare her allegiance to the Old Trafford giants in part because her family also supports the Red Devils. And the brunette, who resides in Denmark, will support the Danes during the World Cup, she revealed to the Daily Star in 2018.
Furthermore, she continued, Katrina is a native of Denmark’s Faroe Islands, so it only makes sense that she would support her countrymen.
Katrina’s backing will provide Eriksen and Co. with some solace as their WAGS won’t be supporting them in Qatar. The Danish FA, which doesn’t want to boost Qatar’s economy during the competition, has banned Eriksen’s partner and her teammates from the competition. In order to exact revenge for losing to England in the World Cup semifinals of Euro 2020, the Danes will need all the help they can get. In the group stage in Qatar, they compete against Tunisia, Australia, and the defending champions France.
However, they have received a tremendous boost ahead of their matchup with France the following week due to Didier Deschamps’ team’s mounting injury woes. The next prominent player to be ruled out of France’s team is Karim Benzema, who sustained a thigh injury.
Only a few days prior to Benzema’s injury, teammate Christopher Nkunku suffered an injury while practising for Les Bleus. The French already lack Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kante going into the World Cup, which makes matters worse.
