Manchester United star Casemiro was slammed by fans for his sloppy display during the club’s 3-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Premier League. However, his wife Anna Mariana came out in defense of her husband, reminding critics of the Brazilian’s achievements in football.
Casemiro has received his fair share of criticism, since making a €71 million move to Old Trafford from Real Madrid. The 32-year-old veteran midfielder was once again ridiculed by fans for his erroneous display against Liverpool. He gave away two goals against the Reds’, with Luis Diaz capitalizing on both of them. Adding to his woes, the Brazilian also became one of the only few players to be dribbled past multiple times in a single match. He was replaced at half-time by youngster Toby Collyer.
However, the ex-Real Madrid star’s wife, Anna Mariana immediately took to social media, to defend her husband. She shared a picture of Casemiro’s incredible trophy cabinet, reminding fans of her husband’s records and achievements. The cabinet included numerous replicas of the Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey titles. He had won all of them during his impressive seven-year spell in Real Madrid. He had made more than 300 appearances for the Los Blancos, between 2015 and 2022.

Meanwhile, the 3-0 loss against Liverpool has pushed Manchester United further down the EPL table to the 14th place. Casemiro’s recent displays could force the manager to relegate him to the bench in favor of the club’s new signing Manuel Ugarte.
Erik ten Hag clears the air after midfielder Casemiro leaves Old Trafford after being subbed off at halftime
Brazilian star Casemiro was seen fuming at Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag as he left the stadium, after being substituted at half-time during the club’s 3-0 loss to Liverpool. The 32-year-old midfielder was at fault, giving away the ball twice, which resulted in two goals.
The Dutch manager, after the match however, rejected rumors of a fall-out with the midfielder. While addressing reasons for Casemiro’s substitution, the manager stated that he had to take the risk in order to bring more energy onto the pitch. He also wanted a player who could cover more ground than the Brazilian did, in order to make a comeback.
Why I subbed him was because we are 2-0 down and against an opponent like Liverpool with their qualities, we have to take risks because we want to come back.Erik ten Hag on Casemiro’s substitution (H/T: NY Times)
