Casemiro teammates enjoy performance
Casemiro has found his way back into the team after being overlooked in favour of Toby Collyer back in January.
The Brazilian has had a run of games for United lately and now he is in the rhythm, he is looking comfortable in Ruben Amorim’s midfield.
Casemiro attempted 11 tackles, winning seven, while making two interceptions. He was a constant menace for City to deal with.
In a post on Instagram following the draw, Casemiro posted that he enjoyed the ‘Good battle at Old Trafford!’, and there were a few complimentary replies from his teammates.
He explained: “He wasn’t playing because I understood that in that moment he wasn’t the best option for how we want to play and he continued to work.
“I look at my players in the same way. If you improve what we ask of them, they have the opportunity. If they play well, they continue to play.
“That was the situation for Casemiro. The credit is all the player. He is our player and will continue to be our player.”
Casemiro’s situation in the summer will still be subject of speculation but right now, Ruben Amorim is fully committed to him, as he is clearly getting commitment from the player on the pitch.
With Kobbie Mainoo still out, United are likely to go with Casemiro and Ugarte against Lyon this week, when former player Nemanja Matic could line up for the French side.
