Despite their victory over Brighton on the final day of the season, Manchester United finished last in the Premier League, which is a record low, and there seems to be some unrest at Old Trafford.
Even though Manchester United’s Premier League campaign is now over, work needs to be done at Old Trafford.
On the final day of the season, the Red Devils defeated Brighton 2-0. Rasmus Hojlund and Diogo Dalot both scored at the Amex Stadium.
Even though they won, Erik ten Hag’s team had a disappointing season as they placed eighth, which is their lowest ever finish in Premier League history. However, Man United could still win awards.
This weekend, they play Manchester City, their local rivals, in the FA Cup final. Examine all the aftermath from the final day of the Premier League as you prepare for this weekend’s trip to Wembley.
Casemiro responds angrily to the transfer
Jamie Carragher is among the critics Casemiro has responded to, saying he ought to retire. The Brazilian’s performance in the 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace was harshly criticized by the former Liverpool player.
In response, Casemiro says he has no intention of hanging up his boots. He said in an interview with Sky Sports, “I feel very well, very well.”I feel great, I have energy, and my mindset is the same as it has always been.
“I suppose the age factor eventually comes up, but it has been demonstrated. Our 39-year-old friend Thiago Silva recently came here to demonstrate that, yes, you can play. Previous winners of the Ballon d’Or were older than 34.
The 32-year-old Casemiro still has two years left on his Old Trafford deal. He’s been connected to relocating to Saudi Arabia.
Ten Hag explains the shocking
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Man United, asserted that “everyone knows” why his team has had an unprecedentedly poor season. After the victory over Brighton, the Dutchman said to the BBC, “It is not good enough by far.”
“Even though we scored less than 60 points two years ago, our worst performance was 58 points, ranking eighth.” Although it’s the truth, we ought to have done better.
“Everyone knows the reasons behind it, but now is not the time to discuss them. It is insufficient.
Neville displays Hojlund’s compassion
Man United symbol Rasmus Hojlund had a “impossible job” this season, and Gary Neville has sympathized with him. The Dane signed in the summer for a substantial sum of money, but he hasn’t been very consistent.
Neville wrote in The Overlap newsletter: “I felt bad for Hojlund when I watched him.” You mention how hard it has been for United to field a reliable back four this year. But upfront, it’s the same.
“Hojlund is unaware of the play pattern, including whether the wide player will enter the game or go to the line. He consistently makes strong runs, as you can see, and after the wide man returns inside, there will be a series of fifteen passes.
“He’ll try to join in with that one more time, and that’s when the wide player will unavoidably decide to reach the line and cross it. It will be hard to be a center forward for United until they can develop a reliable style of play.”
In fact, Hojlund had a strong finish to the season. After coming on as a substitute, the 21-year-old has scored in each of his last two Premier League games.
