Casemiro’s ordeal at Manchester United
Right now, Manchester United’s position in the Premier League is precarious, to say the least. The team led by Erik ten Hag sits in sixth position in the tournament with just 49 points, being 11 away from fifth place, 22 points behind Arsenal and Liverpool, the league leaders, and 21 behind Manchester City, third. of the table.
This situation would have Casemiro very concerned, who, due to various injuries, has barely been able to play 18 games in the Premier League this year:
“Being 20 points away from first place… Sometimes I can’t sleep trying to think about doing something different. It’s reality. “It makes no sense to think about the title or the Champions League places, we only have to think about the games the next day.”
Thus stating that the group’s mentality may be greatly affected by this great distance in the table compared to its great rivals and even more by the fact of not being able to even dream of fighting for a great title in English football.

However, Casemiro also wanted to defend himself and several of his teammates for the fierce criticism received, ensuring that the team’s achievements and failures are always something collective and never individual:
“When you talk individually, it’s always difficult. Mainly because football is collective. I had a good start to the season, I was the best of the month on the team. Here when you win everyone wins, when you lose everyone loses. It is not Casemiro who is sixth in the Premier League, it is all the players who are sixth. We have to evaluate collectively. My thought is to play good games and win titles, which is my main objective.”
