Casemiro, a player who has been underperforming for Manchester United, has cautioned Chelsea fans and pointed out who he thinks is to blame for the team’s recent difficulties.

Before the match against Liverpool, Manchester United fans were introduced to their new £50 million acquisition from Paris Saint-Germain, Manuel Ugarte. He received a warm reception from the home crowd at Old Trafford.

The excitement for Ugarte’s debut is palpable, especially as United faced challenges in the first half of the game, largely attributed to Casemiro’s underwhelming performance.

Casemiro, who has been facing criticism, endured a particularly difficult first half. His mistakes led directly to Liverpool’s two goals, as he struggled with possession and made crucial errors on the field, underscoring the need for a more robust defensive presence. Frustrated by Casemiro’s performance, Erik ten Hag chose to substitute him at halftime, bringing on 20-year-old Toby Collyer.

This decision came in response to Casemiro’s inadvertent role in United’s difficulties and their loss of three points to their rivals.

The decision to start Casemiro this season has been contentious, and the club’s inability to secure Ugarte before the transfer deadline has exacerbated the situation.

United missed the chance to register Ugarte in time for the Liverpool match. Despite Ugarte not being in top form—having last played for Uruguay in the Copa America in July—his presence could have offered crucial reinforcement in midfield.

This highlights the pressing need for United to address their midfield concerns and make strategic enhancements, especially given the challenges they are facing this season.
