“He was the reason we lost against Liverpool, he completed only 4 passes and Had less touches than the goal keeper- Erik Ten Hag sends clear Man UTD message to Manchester United FLOP after Ten Hag reveals who to ‘blame

Midway through United’s humiliating 3-0 loss, Casemiro, 32, was substituted off after conceding Liverpool’s first two goals, both of which were scored by Luis Diaz. Seven minutes after being pick-pocketed in midfield, the Brazilian threw a careless pass forward that resulted in Diaz’s first goal, making it 2-0 for the Liverpool striker.

Following Casemiro’s substitution for 20-year-old academy prospect Toby Collyer in the second half, there were rumors on social media that the United midfielder had departed Old Trafford during the match. However, Ten Hag stated in his news conference following the game that it was not the case.

The United boss, whose team has dropped two of its first three Premier League games, said, “I met him in the locker room after the game.” “I substituted him because we need to take a chance to win because we are behind 2-0 and want to fight back against a team like Liverpool.”
