Man Utd fans tell Ruben Amorim two players can’t start next season as embarrassing moment vs Bournemouth goes viral

Man Utd fans have called for Ruben Amorim to drop two stars ahead of the Premier League season following their performances in the Premier League summer series.

United have got off to a perfect start in their US pre-season tour, beating West Ham 2-1, and hammering Bournemouth 4-1 on Thursday.

Amorim’s side will face Everton on Sunday as they continue their preparations for the upcoming Premier League season, where they will be hoping to improve on last year’s 15th-place finish.

Despite their impressive start to pre-season, United fans are not totally happy with their squad, with two stars receiving significant criticism for their performance against Bournemouth.

During the match, a clip of Casemiro attempting a tackle on Marcus Tavanier went viral, with the Brazilian sliding in to the challenge rather early, before being beaten by the Englishman.

Another added: One fan wrote: “Casemiro starts his tackle 3 business days before the opponent receives the ball.”

A third commented: “We cannot go into next season with Casemiro starting games.”

A fourth replied: “We seriously can’t start next season with Casemiro as our DM, that’s just setting ourselves up for disaster.”

Another fan joked: “Is there a way we can sell a player without his consent? That’s what we need to do to Casemiro.”

It wasn’t just Casemiro taking shots, with right-back Diogo Dalot’s performance also coming under the microscope.

“Casemiro and Dalot should not be in the starting 11 next season. Better players should be brought in to replace them.”

Dalot has been a key man for United in recent seasons, and will be hoping to continue his role as the club’s first-choice right wing-back this campaign.

Ruben Amorim’s full thoughts on Bournemouth victory

“We played with intensity. We were aggressive and that is something that we need to improve from last season. We have the better possession compared to the last game so they are listening.

“Of course, scoring first in the beginning of the games can change the confidence of the of the team. We changed some positions and you feel it that they know what to do in different positions.

“It was a good test. We controlled quite well the runs of Evanilson and Semenyo one against one. Luke Shaw was also really strong. So it was a good day.

“It’s just a pre-season game, but the feeling with the same players looks like a different team and that is a good sign.”
