Casemiro's Struggles at Old Trafford: A Fading Dream
Casemiro's role at Manchester United diminishes under Ruben Amorim, as the Brazilian faces reduced playing time amidst the team's struggles.
Casemiro, once a key figure in Manchester United's midfield, finds himself in a challenging position under the management of Ruben Amorim. The Brazilian midfielder, who has been a substitute in four of the last five matches, is experiencing a significant drop in prominence.
Despite starting in Amorim's first two Premier League matches against Ipswich Town and Everton, Casemiro's playing time has dwindled. He appeared only in a Europa League match against Viktoria Plzeň, which United narrowly won 2-1. In contrast, games against strong opponents like Arsenal and Tottenham highlighted his absence.
Amorim, tasked with rebuilding a struggling team, has faced criticism for both tactical decisions and internal issues within the squad. The Portuguese manager has experimented with other players, including Bruno Fernandes, in Casemiro's usual position, further complicating the Brazilian's situation.
At 32, Casemiro's role in the team appears uncertain. Despite his experience and previous achievements, the midfielder's fluctuating performances and limited appearances reflect the complexities of United's current state under Amorim's tenure.
