Casemiro Is Not Too Old To Play In The EPL – Saha

Casemiro is not too old to play for the current Manchester United, Louis Saha has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the idea that the Brazilian midfielder is too old to play in the EPL is nonsense because Casemiro has thrived in the league despite taking on more responsibility at MUFC.

Saha added that journalists should stop using Casemiro as a scape goat for United’s underwhelming season.

His words, “Casemiro is not too old for the Premier League. Journalists are really on his back, maybe because Manchester United’s style of play hasn’t been quite right. Since last season, he’s been asked to do too much, and he still managed to do it. He was getting more goals, and I don’t think he got many goals at Real Madrid, but he’s taken on a bit more responsibility at United.

He’s trying to press and win the ball higher up the pitch which has been difficult for him. People will talk about whether he has the legs for it, and yes, he’s older than he was three years ago but he’s still a terrific player. When he recovers the ball, his first or second touch will always be into the strikers’ feet or to Bruno Fernandes to start the counterattack.

Those elements are crucial and especially when he’s playing with young boys alongside him, it’s very important. People tend to focus on Manchester United more than anyone else and it used to be Cristiano Ronaldo but now it’s Casemiro because he’s a top player who has won the Champions League. The attention is always more aggressive on these types of players, and I think that’s unfair.”

WOW.
