One thing I don’t like about Man united fans is that they judge so early,I don’t know maybe some are watching the back of Television”, Jose Mourinho says Ten Hag needs to be careful in order not to force £50m player out of the team now
Jose Mourinho has criticized Manchester United fans for their tendency to judge players too quickly, suggesting that some might not be fully engaged with the games, perhaps only watching sporadically. He advised Erik ten Hag to be cautious to avoid forcing a £50 million player out of the squad prematurely.
Manchester United faced a penalty shoot-out defeat against Manchester City in the Community Shield on Saturday. Despite a promising performance, the Red Devils struggled to finish their chances. Alejandro Garnacho opened the scoring in the 82nd minute, but Bernardo Silva equalized for City. Ultimately, City emerged victorious in the penalty shoot-out.
The outcome might have been different if Marcus Rashford, Amad, and Scott McTominay had taken advantage of their scoring opportunities. However, there were some positive takeaways from the match at Wembley. Garnacho maintained his form from the FA Cup final with another impressive goal. Casemiro also delivered a standout performance in midfield, particularly noteworthy after a less impressive pre-season tour in the United States.
Casemiro, who is 32 years old, showed significant improvement from his previous match against Liverpool. He won ten duels, made seven tackles, and created key opportunities for Rashford and Amad. The big question now is whether he can consistently replicate this level of performance to secure his spot as a regular starter.
Manchester United are actively seeking a defensive midfielder, with Manuel Ugarte, Youssouf Fofana, and Sander Berge among their targets. One of these players might join the club this month, placing the responsibility on Casemiro to maintain his form and retain his place in the starting lineup.
