United Fans Demand Action Over Casemiro After Liverpool Defeat
Manchester United suffered a 3-0 defeat to Liverpool in their pre-season friendly, and the performance of one of their most experienced players has left fans calling for action.
Casemiro, the 32-year-old midfielder, has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer, and his display on Saturday night only added fuel to the fire. The Brazilian was at fault for Liverpool’s opener, losing possession to Fabio Carvalho before the Portuguese midfielder scored with ease.
Casemiro’s future at the club has been a topic of debate all summer, and his performance against Liverpool has only strengthened the case for him to leave. His high wages, lack of form, and advancing age make him a difficult player to justify keeping in the squad.
Fans took to social media to express their frustration with Casemiro’s display, with one saying: "Casemiro to United has turned out to be the sort of business a club should never, ever do. Offered only 7-8 months of what he truly is. Came for a big fee when he was nearing 30. Earns well over 250k a week. Plays every game like he may not even start in Saudi Arabia."
Another fan wrote: "Casemiro is becoming a real problem. Big wages. Getting older. Performances poor. Yet still our best defensive midfielder. Not a great situation." A third commented: "Can he please take the big Saudi money and move on?"
It’s clear that United fans are tired of Casemiro’s lack of impact on the pitch, and his high wages are becoming a major issue. The club would be better off cutting their losses and cashing in on him this summer, rather than continuing to pay him to play mediocre football.
According to reports, Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad are interested in signing Casemiro, and it’s hard to see United turning down a significant offer for the midfielder. The question is, will Ten Hag make the tough decision and allow Casemiro to leave, or will he stick with the player and hope for a turnaround?
