Casemiro's time at Manchester United has been a complete nightmare. According to Brazil legend Rivaldo, the midfielder made a mistake by leaving Real Madrid for the Red Devils. Rivaldo believes that Casemiro is unfairly taking the blame for Manchester United's injury crisis this season.
Last season, Casemiro had a successful debut in the English Premier League. However, this season has been a sharp decline for him. Along with his own injuries, Casemiro has also had to deal with injuries to his teammates, forcing him to play out of position as a center-back instead of his usual role in central midfield.
Rivaldo is of the opinion that Casemiro should have stayed at Real Madrid instead of moving to Old Trafford in 2022. He feels that things would not have been so difficult for his compatriot if he had stayed with the Spanish club. Speaking to the new Betting.Betfair.com website about the latest football news, Rivaldo said, "Casemiro is not only a great player, but also a great person and a friend of mine. I played with him during my time at Sao Paulo. He had a fantastic career at Real Madrid, and in my opinion, it was a wrong decision for him to leave for Manchester United. The financial aspect may have played a role in his decision."
Casemiro's form has been poor this season, and he has faced criticism for it. Brazil's head coach, Dorival Júnior, has even left him out of the squad for the upcoming Copa America. Explaining his decision, Dorival said, "Casemiro deserves all our respect. I had a conversation with him in Manchester three months ago. I explained to him my thoughts about his situation and his team's situation. This does not mean that he is completely ruled out for the future. He knows very well what I think of him, and that's what matters."
It's not just Casemiro who is under scrutiny at Manchester United. Manager Erik ten Hag is also facing a lot of pressure. The team's poor performance has led to speculation about his future at the club. However, Dorival's decision to leave Casemiro out of the Copa America squad does not necessarily mean that he won't be considered in the future.
The situation at Manchester United is not looking good. The team is plagued with injuries, and their form has been poor. The pressure is high, and everyone is feeling it. But amidst all this, Casemiro remains a great player and a valuable asset to his team. He deserves respect and support, and Dorival plans to have a conversation with him to discuss his future with the national team. As for Manchester United, only time will tell if they can turn things around.
