Former England international Rio Ferdinand has claimed that Casemiro will feel ‘disrespected’ by Erik ten Hag after Manchester United’s 6-3 defeat to rivals Manchester City on Sunday. The Brazilian midfielder was left out of the starting lineup for the game  with Scott McTominay and Eriksen preferred in midfield by manager Erik ten Hag.

The Brazilian midfielder was a key player for Real Madrid as they won the Champions League last season, but he was left on the bench for the Red Devils' game at the Etihad Stadium. And Ferdinand believes that ten Hag's decision to start his already favorite midfielders ahead of him will have not gone down well with Casemiro.

We can even say that those decisions are yet to be comprehensible, how can the five-time Champions League winner hasn't started a game for Manchester United in the Premier League? And it can be even more questioned since at the half time the Red Devils were already humiliated. 

What did Rio Ferdinand exactly say?

He said on his Youtube channel: "He is a fantastic defensive midfielder, one of, if not the best, in the world before he came to Man United. ‘I wonder the impact it’s having on someone like him. Yes, he’s experience and whatnot, but he must be sitting there thinking, ‘wow, I’m happy to be here at Man United but I’m feeling a little bit disrespected here, given what I’ve done. I’d be surprised if he’s not feeling like that".
