All going downhill for United as Casemiro picks another injury
From hope to despair it would seem for Manchester United as after his return from injury, Brazilian midfielder, Casemiro picks up yet another injury after Wednesday’s defeat to Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup.
After a few weeks on the sidelines, the former Real Madrid star was given a start against the Magpies in the fourth round of the EFL Cup tie that ended in an eventual 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford.
However, in the aftermath of the game, it is reported that the defeat is least of Manchester United’s current problems as Casemiro is set to miss the Red Devils’ next clash versus Fulham in the weekend.
The Manchester United boss confirmed this when asked of the reason behind the substitution of the Brazilian in the 0-3 humiliation.
Tougher times lie ahead for Erik ten Hag, with the 2023/24 season the toughest the Dutchman has ever faced in his managerial career so far.
The Old Trafford side have received 2 back-to-back defeats on home turf by the same score line; one in a derby game, and the other in an elimination round of the EFL Cup.
Manchester United’s recent win was the Champions League tie versus FC Copenhagen whose victory came forth thanks to unlikely heroes Harry Maguire and Andre Onana.
