Casemiro was responsible for losing possession on multiple occasions, and even committed some costly mistakes and his poor play resulted in the visitors taking a 2-0 lead. Afterwards, the 32-year-old was slammed by fans with many urging the team management to terminate his contract with Manchester United.
Amid this, Casemiro’s wife Anna Mariana Casemiro has come out in defence of the Brazilian international. Sharing a picture on Instagram, Anna showcased the number of trophies Casemiro had so far won in his professional career. Casemiro’s illustrious trophy cabinet comprised some of the much-coveted silverware, including five Champions League titles.
Reacting to Casemiro’s gameplay against Liverpool, former Manchester United defender Gary Neville expressed his disappointment.
“Casemiro with a player of such experience the amount of times he gives the ball away in bad areas. He has no pressure on him and it’s a first time pass he tries. Liverpool have made mistakes in these areas, but Mo Salah is class and the cross is delicious,” Neville said while commentating on Sky Sports.
Social media was abuzz with Casemiro’s poor show against Liverpool with many sharing their views on the Manchester United midfielder’s dismal performance.
For Liverpool, Luis Diaz scored a brace and Mohamed Salah netted another goal to clinch a convincing victory against Manchester United. The Erik ten Hag-coached side are now placed at the 14th spot in the Premier League standings having so far collected three points from as many matches.
