Why Is Casemiro Not Playing Starting Role at Manchester United?
Did Man United sign Casemiro to warm the bench? Why Is Casemiro Not Playing Starting Role at Manchester United ahead of Scott McTominay?
Experienced defensive midfielder Casemiro is set to be a squad player at Man Utd.
Erik ten Hag says Mctominay has been excellent, almost as if the signing of casimero made him improve. It only has been a few games so I can’t say for sure he’s the starter but if he continues like this, Casimero will keep coming off the bench.
The Athletic reports that ten Hag left new £60m signing Casemiro and many of his biggest names on the bench and it paid off again for Manchester United vs Liverpool, Leicester City and Arsenal.
McTominay has just wrapped up the best month of football in his professional career. He has been playing incredibly well. In the end, McTominay will dip (soon) and he will be replaced by Casemiro..he doesn’t have the quality to keep this standard up. But of course you want to ride this as long as possible if you’re Ten Hag.
Man Utd boss ten Hag explains why Casemiro is not starting in the league
Ten Hag said that Casemiro needs to get used to his football and that McTominay has been playing well. My bet is he’ll start him in the Europa League to help him get up to full match fitness, where the pace will be less intense. People forget there’s a ton of matches coming up and Ten Hag will have to rotate at some point.
Mctominay is playing well since the arrival of Casemiro . Mctominay is putting in work because he knows that he can lose his position to Casemiro if he doesn’t put in the work and display the performance. He got competition now with Casemiro, which was needed.
Casemiro vs McFred (Mctominay and Fred)
If you get benched when you had a good game, how will you improve to get back in the team.Mctimoney just did perfectly what the manager wanted and he had a good game so why would he drop.
If you just drop players when they perform well, how will they improve? This helps both players. Now there is a healthy competition between McFred and casemiro. They know when they have poor games they will get dropped and when they perform they are selected.
Manchester United’s substitutes (bench players) include Casemiro
| PLAYER | TRANSFER FEE | INTERNATIONAL CAPS |
| Tom Heaton | N/A | 3 (England) |
| Harry Maguire | £80m | 46 (England) |
| Cristiano Ronaldo | £10.2m | 189 (Portugal) |
| Fred | £52m | 27 (Brazil) |
| Casemiro | £60m | 63 (Brazil) |
| Luke Shaw | £27m | 21 (England) |
| Aaron Wan-Bissaka | £50m | 0 |
| Donny van de Beek | £35m | 19 (Netherlands) |
United have built some good chemistry with Erik’s starting 11 the past few games. Why change it ? Make the players earn their place in the 11.
If you play well, you keep the place. Basic principle. If he can bench ronaldo, he sure can bench casemiro and Donny van de Beek for now. The time will come when scott has a poor game and that will be the avenue for ten hag to drop scott. Everything perfect, ten hag knows how to manage. He only has to be accountable for the United team and United fans.
You have to consider the wages some of those United bench warming players are on, with Ronaldo earning around £450,000 a week and Casemiro pocketing a healthy £375,000 a week. Maguire is thought to be on £190,000 a week, while Luke Shaw is closer to £150,000 a week.
Why did Casemiro leave Real Madrid?
Sometimes it’s best not to change a winning team…. and McTominays been part of that. There’s no doubt Casemiro is the far better player and he’ll be in there sooner rather than later i’d say.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.
- Ten Hag Says Man United Are on Track
- Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United
- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
