CASEMIRO's Manchester United career hit a new low after he was hauled off at half-time by Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n
The five-time Champions League winner has underperformed for the Red Devils this campaign.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
He's allowed several opposition midfielders to repeatedly ghost past him in the club's poor start to their domestic and European campaigns<\/span>.<\/p>\n The Brazilian's woes continued in United's Premier League clash with Brentford<\/span> on Saturday.<\/p>\n He made a critical mistake in the build-up to Mathias Jensen<\/span>'s 26th-minute opener, which should've been saved by Andre Onana.<\/p>\n That, coupled, with his lack of ferocity, prompted Ten Hag to replace the club's September Player of the Month with Christian Eriksen at halftime.<\/p>\n United fans took to X (formerly Twitter) in their droves to react to the former Real Madrid man's substitution.<\/p>\n One wrote: "Casemiro needed to be off."<\/p>\n Another said: "Casemiro<\/strong> is falling off<\/strong>."<\/p>\n And another said: "We need to have a serious conversation on Casemiro."<\/p>\n <\/picture>HORROR INJURY <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>RASH DECISION <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>IN THE DOCK <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>THE GALL OF IT <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n One remarked: "Casemiro hooked at halftime. This fall-off is sad."<\/p>\n Another chimed in: "Casemiro\u2019s been pulled off at half-time. Eriksen on. Right move. He looks done."<\/p>\n Some have blamed Casemiro's struggles on the system implemented by Ten Hag, including former Arsenal man Martin Keown<\/span>.<\/p>\n He wrote in his Daily Mail column: "Casemiro has been sitting deep with Christian Eriksen and\u00a0Bruno<\/span> Fernandes\u00a0further forward, either side of him.<\/p>\n "United are the Premier League\u2019s worst culprits for letting opponents dribble past them and Casemiro tops the list. But it does not help that the 31-year-old Brazilian is often left on his own to deal with the flood of opposition players coming through the middle.<\/p>\n "In the defeat by\u00a0Arsenal, when keeper Andre Onana had the ball, Casemiro was dropping between the centre-backs. <\/p>\n "That takes United\u2019s most combative midfielder away from the centre and tasks Eriksen and Fernandes with winning the ball back when they lose possession.<\/p>\n "United have not looked comfortable in the system and, against Arsenal, they often resorted to long passes in the hope\u00a0Marcus Rashford<\/span>\u00a0could make something of a one-v-one opportunity. <\/p>\n "When Casemiro dropped to create a back three, Ten Hag was ordering his full-backs to get high and wide.<\/p>\n "Aaron Wan-Bissaka<\/span> looked wary of carrying out that instruction because he was not getting cover from midfield, and there was nobody screening the passes into the counter-attacking Gabriel Martinelli<\/span>. <\/p>\nMost read in Sport<\/h2>\n
