Former player Gary Neville criticized Casemiro in Manchester United’s defeat to Tottenham. Man United received a 0-2 defeat against Tottenham. Accordingly, the goal of Pape Matar Sarr and an own goal by Lisandro Martinez helped bring the first victory for new Spurs coach Ange Postecoglou.

Coach Erik Ten Hag has targeted a new midfielder this summer and United have held talks to sign Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat and Everton’s Amadou Onana before the end of the transfer window.

However, no deals have progressed yet. Meanwhile, Casemiro is almost no longer himself in the past 2 matches.

Former player Gary Neville confirmed on Sky Sports: “Casemiro looked missing in midfield in these first two games.”

With Bruno Fernandes drifting to the right, the midfield looked choked everywhere and the forward trio seemed incapable of dealing damage.

Will Ten Hag return to Scott McTominay without finding the right name?
