Newcastle legend, Alan Shearer has come out to say that Casemiro was distinctly average against Liverpool. He recently revealed that the Brazilian midfielder’s downfall has been tough to watch, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he hates seeing great players fail on the football pitch, but it is very obvious that Casemiro is not as good as he used to be.
He added that the fact that Ten Hag has asked him to play a role he is not used to also does not help matters.
His words, “On Casemiro, I hate seeing great players fail on the football pitch, and with what Casemiro’s achieved, where he’s played, what he’s won, he’s had a phenomenal career. But it happens to all of us. You’re not as good as you used to be. Having said that, I think he’s being asked to play a slightly different role in this Man United team, and it’s not something he’s used to, and they got punished. It is tough to see a great player making the errors that he made – it’s not nice to see because, throughout his career, he’s been a great and has played for great teams. At the weekend though, he looked distinctly average. He’s the only one who can tell you how he feels but on Sunday he looked like a very average player that’s tough to see for anyone.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
