Casemiro, the Manchester United midfielder, faced heavy criticism after a disappointing performance in the match against Liverpool on Sunday.
The Brazilian player was part of the starting lineup under Erik Ten Hag for the Premier League clash at Old Trafford. Unfortunately, Casemiro made two significant mistakes during the first half, leading to both of Liverpool’s goals.
The match turned out to be a challenging afternoon for Casemiro, who struggled to maintain his usual high standards on the pitch. His errors proved costly, as Liverpool took full advantage to establish an early lead.
In response to his performance, Ten Hag decided to substitute Casemiro in the second half, bringing on youngster Toby Collyer, who made his debut for the club. Despite the change, Manchester United continued to struggle, and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah scored another goal shortly after the break.
Following the match, Casemiro was subjected to criticism from fans and football pundits alike, including former players Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville, who expressed disappointment in the midfielder’s recent decline. Many questioned whether the 32-year-old still had the ability to perform at the highest level.
However, Casemiro’s wife, Anna Mariana, came to his defense on social media. She shared a post showcasing the numerous trophies Casemiro has won throughout his career, including the recent FA Cup. The post was accompanied by a supportive caption: “Always strong Casemiro, the biggest (flaming heart emoji) at Manchester United.”
