Casemiro to be PHASED OUT by Manchester United? 😳 Craig Burley expects 'less games' from him | ESPN

they regain they battle they they they play they assist they can score goals they do everything and of course when you got three players that they are working for 90 minutes that's something very important for for any team so I think that that's the the the the main thing today that we need to talk about of course man united they will they will get it they will find a way but today they just found themselves out play they couldn't even manage the the rhythm of uh of Liverpool and in the moment that they try to arrive to that midfielder the the the three four midfielders because even Diaz and jota were work working very hard to try to regain the ball to press higher on the on the field they just couldn't get out of of their position so uh we are talking about a 3-0 but as Steve was mentioning he could have been two or three more goals I'm slightly the opposite here I I don't want to be down on a player but at the end of the day a job is to to analyze and unfortunately and I thought he come back preseason C looked a little trimmer maybe he was but I think it's an unfortunate consequence of just getting older uh and the game gets quicker is that I just don't think he can do it I think he can maybe come in now again and the odd Cup game and maybe for suspensions but I just think he can't do it he's not I just don't think he's going to get through and experience alone I don't I mean you look at the what rate of of that Liverpool Midfield you look at the what rate of the Manchester City Midfield you look at the what rate of the Arsenal Midfield you know we're just talking about England we're talking about these teams at United are aspiring to get back in amongst you can't carry anybody in there you can't have people that can't run about it's not only can't run about he's making mistakes on the ball now so that's a double that's the double-edged sword for him and yes o will play uh I think we'll see uh casemiro being phased out but again it goes back to the the consequential decisions of giving a guy not a threeyear deal but a 5-year deal on huge money and so you're left with this sort of scenario where a player is struggling but has what I think 3 years left on on a contract on huge wages and so there's another problem for them but the initial problem is not Financial it's on the field and I think ultimately he's going to find himself playing less games and not more games because he's at that time of his career now he's just struggling particularly in his position his position for a decade plus has been covering every blade of grass covering fullbacks covering center backs you know covering the fullbacks and there's no way to hide that takes its toll not only does it take its toll because you're probably working as hard as anybody in the team you're the enforcer which is what luuka Modric and Tony Chris said when he left Real Madrid thanks very much for being The Bodyguard he was everybody's bodyguard but it takes its toll and he's at United now where he's exposed he's exposed to poorer players who are making more mistakes the game is more open and he's getting left with huge gaps he has to cover he can't do it and I think unfortunately for him that is and United that is just a huge problem but it's not not their only problem but from caso's perspective I honestly think we're going to see him in a United chart less and less we find ourselves in a pretty familiar situation when it comes to Manchester United [Music]
