Manchester United stars have united with Casemiro after the nightmare against Liverpool. The Brazilian midfielder had a terrible match when the "Red Devils" lost 0-3 to Liverpool at Old Trafford. Casemiro directly made mistakes in both of the first 2 goals conceded, Luis Diaz was the one who scored for the away team.
Casemiro was constantly mocked by Liverpool fans for his wrong passes. Things got worse for the former Real Madrid midfielder when he had to make way for young midfielder Toby Collyer after the first half.
Despite Casemiro's nightmare, his teammates at Man United still stood up to protect him after the match. Captain Bruno Fernandes was said to be the first to speak up in the dressing room.
"What is the point of criticizing Casemiro for losing the ball or Kobbie Mainoo for losing the ball? It's part of football. Don't make it a personal matter.
Casemiro has more experience than me. He has played for the two strongest clubs in the world. I don't need to say anything to him, because Casemiro knows what football is," Bruno Fernandes said after the match.
According to The Sun, the Portuguese midfielder insists Casemiro is not at fault and the team is responsible for turning things around. This is a view agreed upon by other players at Old Trafford. Everyone unanimously supported the Brazilian midfielder to overcome the horror against Liverpool.
Most importantly, the defeat to Liverpool did not affect Casemiro's future with the club. Despite the interest from the Saudi Pro League, Ten Hag and the Man United board are in the same opinion of keeping Casemiro.
"You know and Casemiro knows what's going on. Casemiro will continue and we will continue. He's a great player. We will continue this season to improve the team and the players. Casemiro has proven many times that he is a great character. He has achieved everything in his career.
We have all seen great moments from Casemiro and he is always decisive in midfield. He will show that again and will come back" - Ten Hag said.
Casemiro will have a break for the next 2 weeks during FIFA Days in September. The Brazilian midfielder was not called up to the national team to participate in matches against Ecuador and Paraguay.
The veteran midfielder will focus on United's next game in two weeks. The "Red Devils" will face Southampton who are struggling at St Mary's on September 14.
