Andy Cole Worried About Performance of Important Manchester United Player
Former Manchester United striker, Andy Cole, has expressed concern over the form of Casemiro in his second season at Old Trafford. The Brazilian midfielder arrived from Real Madrid last summer and made a significant impact in his debut season, playing a crucial role in helping the team secure a top-four finish and scoring in the Carabao Cup final. However, this season has been a different story for Casemiro, as he has struggled to replicate his previous performances.
Injuries have plagued Casemiro’s second season at Manchester United. He missed a large portion of the first half of the campaign due to an ankle injury. Although he returned to action in January, he has struggled to find consistency since then. Despite scoring the winning goal against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup fifth round, Cole remains unimpressed with Casemiro’s overall performance this season.
Cole believes that Casemiro’s dip in form is a cause for concern, especially considering his influential role in the team last season. He emphasizes that in football, one cannot rest on their laurels because there will always be questions and expectations from fans and critics. While Cole acknowledges that Casemiro is not the only Manchester United player whose performances have dipped, he believes that the Brazilian midfielder attracts more scrutiny due to the high expectations placed upon him.
It is worth noting that Casemiro is currently the highest earner at Manchester United, earning £350,000 per week. Despite attracting interest from the Saudi Pro League, he has expressed his desire to continue playing for United and has a contract until 2026.
As Manchester United fans eagerly await an improvement in Casemiro’s form, it is clear that his performances will be closely scrutinized. The pressure is on for the Brazilian midfielder to rediscover the levels of performance that made him such an influential player last season.
