PHOENIX’S PERFORMANCE: Fabio Carvalho sends Casemiro ‘into early retirement’ in Liverpool’s pre-season victory against Man Utd

MIDFIELDER Supporters claim that during Liverpool’s 3-0 preseason thrashing of Manchester United, Fabio Carvalho forced Casemiro into an early retirement.

In addition, United’s weak defence has contributed to Erik ten Hag’s mounting headaches. This is United’s second consecutive loss against a Premier League team in the United States.

The Red Devils concluded their preseason trip in South Carolina with a humiliating loss to Arne Slot’s strong team, one week after losing 2-1 to Arsenal.

Carvalho gave Liverpool the lead within the first ten minutes, dashigning any hopes of a strong showing from United.

Before the half, Curtis Jones doubled their lead, and following the restart, Kostas Tsimikas completed the scoring.

Fans were left in disbelief and fearing what would happen when they faced rivals Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley in one week.

Particularly aggrieved were United supporters over the opening goal and Casemiro’s contribution to the build-up.

Casemiro staggered as he attempted to pivot and block the shot, but Carvalho swiftly spun around him to enter the penalty area.

It was a depressing sight for a man who was once one of the most formidable defensive midfielders in the world.
Due to an unanticipated injury, Casemiro, who had been having trouble lately, was not included in United’s squad on the day they defeated Man City 2-1 in the FA Cup final.

And the Old Trafford supporters weren’t slow to vent their annoyance on social media.

“Carvalho sent Casemiro into an early retirement,” one person wrote.

“I am losing patience with Casemiro,” a second person wrote. Discover a way to convince him.

“I love him, but he shouldn’t be starting for Manchester United anymore,” a third person said.

“There’s no question that Casemiro should leave; the only issue is that we seem unable to sell him,” said another.

Casemiro lost control a staggering sixteen times during the ninety minutes, winning only two of his seven duels.
