Casemiro was unexpectedly criticized in Manchester United's most recent match. The Brazilian player was replaced by Christian Eriksen in the previous match and Ten Hag's response to this decision was because he “wanted more football”; him criticizing in a certain way the performance of the footballer who played at Real Madrid at the time. After this event, it is revealed what the club plans to do with Casemiro this season.
According to a GIVEMESPORT source, Ten Hag plans to hold individual conversations with the 31-year-old Casemiro to discuss his recent performances. The Brazilian midfielder, signed by the Red Devils last season for a fee of £70 million from Real Madrid, has faced difficulties this start to the campaign, which has had a notable impact on the team's overall performance.
Manchester United has had a difficult start to this season, ranking tenth in the Premier League with a series of ups and downs in eight games, accumulating four wins and as many losses. Furthermore, in the Champions League, the team has yet to score points after two defeats in its first two games.
Journalist Ben Jacobs, who is following the situation closely, suggests that the problem could lie with Casemiro's resistance to new ideas when it comes to training, possibly influenced by his successful spell at Real Madrid. Jacobs anticipates that the solution could involve more minutes for Scott McTominay in the upcoming games if Casemiro fails to regain his best form.
Has Casemiro's performance been bad?
Casemiro's poor performance has been a key factor in this situation. Despite having contributed five goals in 11 games, his defensive work has not lived up to expectations, even being sent off on one occasion and substituted in the last game. The reality is that Casemiro has not had an unexpected performance. The footballer has been a vital piece for Ten Hag, but sometimes the rival team does not make Casemiro feel comfortable and the club may need more offensive proposals than those of the Brazilian.
