Man United star says being played out of position has not helped his game
If you asked people about people about Casemiro last season anyone would’ve easily called him the most important player for Manchester United. The Brazilian had a terrific maiden campaign which led to a Carabao Cup for the team.
Moreover, Man United finished third in the Premier League and returned to playing Champions League football. However, the season that followed has been terrible for the 32-year-old midfielder.
His poor performance has led to a lot of criticism and Casemiro says that being played out of position has only made things harder for him. Let’s have a look at what he had to say. (h/t Manchester Evening News)
“It’s hard, especially when it’s not an analysis of the whole situation,”
“I picked up an injury, a big injury. Came back, then the injury returned, now playing as a centre-back. It is hard”
Casemiro added that Criticism is a part of football and always approaches it in a calm manner. He says he understands why he’s been criticized and it’s understandable since he has been playing at the very top for over 10 years.
Casemiro closed his statement by saying that he’s happy at Man United since it allows him to enjoy Premier League football. Luckily for him the Brazilian he won’t have to play at Centre-back again this season now that Raphael Varane is back.
Manchester United paid £70m for the former Real Madrid midfielder, if things go according to plan he will be playing in his normal position during the FA Cup finals.
