Next week, Ruben Amorim is set to make his debut as the new head coach of Manchester United. Despite some controversies surrounding his appointment, former Manchester United midfielder Kleberson remains optimistic about the future of his fellow Brazilians, Casemiro and Antony, under Amorim's guidance.
As Amorim takes on the reins at Old Trafford on 11 November, there has been much speculation about the futures of several current United players, including the Brazilian duo. Antony, who only played for one minute in the Premier League under former coach Erik ten Hag, and Casemiro, whose performance in midfield has declined, have both faced criticism from fans and pundits alike.
In fact, former United captain Gary Neville even went as far as to label their transfers as "two of the worst" in the club's history. However, Kleberson, who spent two successful years at United under legendary coach Sir Alex Ferguson, believes that Casemiro still has a lot to offer and is not fazed by pressure. He also praised Antony's potential and believes that a change in manager and playing system could bring out the best in him.
"Casemiro is a player who thrives under pressure and always gives his best on the field," Kleberson stated in an interview with The Agency. "Despite the criticism and speculation about his future, he remains the same dedicated and determined player. We saw his quality in the recent match against Leicester City where he scored two goals and showed his relentless desire to win."
Kleberson also empathized with Antony's struggles at United and shared his own experience of facing challenges at the club before eventually making the decision to leave. However, he believes that with the right manager, Antony can still have a bright future at United.
"Antony is a talented player who just needs the right guidance and confidence to reach his full potential. A new manager and playing style could bring about a positive change for him. I faced similar challenges during my time at United and ultimately made the decision to leave, but I believe Antony can still prove himself at the club," Kleberson explained.
As Amorim takes charge of the team, there is renewed hope for both Casemiro and Antony to shine at United and prove their worth. It remains to be seen how the new coach will utilize their talents and guide them to success. But one thing is for sure, Kleberson will be rooting for his countrymen every step of the way.
