After Casemiro was hooked at halftime as Manchester United lost to Liverpool, his wife shared a picture of all the trophies he has won.
The Red Devils lost 3-0 to their biggest enemies on Sunday afternoon. Casemiro had a bad second season at the club, and there were rumours that he would be leaving in the summer. He was benched at halftime, and teenager Tom Collyer came on to replace him, which was very embarrassing.
The United defender lost the ball in his own half, which let Liverpool score the first goal of the game. Then, Luis Diaz took the ball away from Casemiro near his own box. This let the Colombian start another attack and score his second.
The experienced player was taken off by Erik ten Hag. He had been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia this summer, but it looks like he will stay in Manchester. Now that the player is getting a lot of bad press, his wife has stepped in to protect him.The 35-year-old Anna Mariana Casemiro made her feelings clear when she shared a picture of his prize cabinet on her Instagram stories late on Sunday night. The cabinet had five Champions League titles that he won while playing for Real Madrid.
On Casemiro’s resume, you can also find three La Liga wins, three Club World Cups, many UEFA titles, and a Copa America win. But after a great first season, he hasn’t played his best football in a while, and Gary Neville knows that his replacement will have an effect on the team.
“It was a bad one,” he told Sky Sports. It’s pretty much the worst when there are only about 20,000 people left in the stadium after a big game like this. Taking Casemiro off will have an effect on the rest of the players because he is a leader. It will be similar to what happened with Harry Maguire when he was hooked 15 months ago.
Neville also talked about how tough it was at Old Trafford because the fans had to wait for another embarrassing loss to Liverpool. That made them feel bad about some of their players, and Casemiro had to take the blame.
“Manchester United fans don’t often boo,” he stated. “They don’t usually boo the manager, the substitutions, or specific players.” There have been a few times today when they have.
Most of the time, they will boo a show at halftime when the players are being taken off because they are down 2-0. Usually, though, they don’t kill people, and a few times today, they have. Casemiro in the first half and then clearly talking about Rashford with that boo.
