Manchester United midfielder Casemiro was highly chastised for his performance against Arne Slot’s Liverpool FC on Sunday.
On matchday 3 of the new Premier League season, the Brazilian started for Erik Ten Hag’s Manchester United against Liverpool at Old Trafford.
However, it was a forgettable afternoon for the Brazilian, who made two mistakes that allowed the visitors to score two goals in the first half.
Consequently, Casemiro was hooked off in the second half for youngster Toby Collyer, who made his debut, and completed the match but could not do much as Mohammed Salah scored another just some minutes after the break.
Following the match, Casemiro was criticized by fans and pundits, including Jammie Carragher and Gary Neville, both of whom felt sad about the midfielder’s decline.
But the 32-year-old’s wife, Anna Mariana, has backed him via a post on her social media handle. The post was a collection of the Brazilian’s trophies, including the recent FA Cup this year.
The post had the caption, “Always strong Casemiro, the biggest (flaming heart emoji) at Manchester United.”
It remains to be seen whether Erik Ten Hag can keep trusting Casemiro or find an alternative.
