STOP THE BLAME, I AM NOT THE PROBLEM”, Manchester United FLOP Casemero Caution Chelsea Fans As He Expose Those Behind The Team’s Recent Failures

Before kick-off against Liverpool, Manchester United supporters had some taste of things to come.
Their new £50 million acquisition from Paris Saint-Germain was first shown to the home supporters on the Old Trafford field and received a great reception. And Ugrate’s debut cannot come soon enough for United, their supporters and manager Erik ten Hag, after 45 minutes of seeing Casmerio toil and single-handed award Liverpool two goals.

Simply said, Casemiro was a problem during the first half, giving up possession cheaply and emphasizing the reason United should have cashed in on the 32-year-old summer. Ten Hag had seen enough and pulled Casemiro out at the interval, substituting 20-year-old Toby Collyer for him after he had clearly handed three points to United’s hated rivals.

However, Casemiro should not have been anywhere near the United starting line-up this season and would not have been had the chase of Ugarte not descended down to transfer deadline day. United therefore missed the deadline for registering Ugarte in time to face Liverpool, although he would not have been fit to play considering his last action was for Uruguay at the Copa America in July.Before kick-off against Liverpool, Manchester United supporters got a glimpse of the future. Their new £50 million acquisition from Paris Saint-Germain, Manuel Ugarte, was presented to the home fans at Old Trafford and received a warm welcome. The debut of Ugarte, who joined late in the transfer window, is eagerly anticipated by the fans and manager Erik ten Hag, especially after witnessing the first-half struggles of Casemiro against Liverpool.

Casemiro had a disastrous first half, repeatedly giving away possession and directly contributing to Liverpool’s two goals. His performance highlighted why many believed United should have sold the 32-year-old over the summer. Ten Hag, clearly frustrated, substituted Casemiro at halftime, bringing on 20-year-old Toby Collyer to try to stabilize the midfield after Casemiro’s mistakes had practically handed the advantage to Liverpool.

Casemiro’s poor showing underscored why he might not have been in United’s starting line-up had they completed the Ugarte signing earlier in the summer. Unfortunately, the transfer dragged on until deadline day, meaning Ugarte missed the registration deadline for the Liverpool match. Additionally, his lack of fitness—his last game action was for Uruguay at the Copa America in July—meant even if he had been registered, he would likely not have been ready to play.
