Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand has noted that Casemiro and Cristiano Ronaldo are being disrespected at Manchester United.
Ferdinand believes that the two senior footballers, who were left out of Man United’s XI by Erik ten Hag in their embarrassing defeat to neighbours, Manchester City on Sunday, will feel ‘disrespected’ by the Dutch coach.
United were humiliated 6-3 by Pep Guardiola’s side at the Etihad as hat-tricks from Erling Haaland and Phil Foden secured a 6-3 victory for Pep Guardiola’s side.
Casemiro has started just one game in the Europa League since joining the Red Devils from Real Madrid for £70 million.
“Casemiro’s another one, he’s sitting there going, ‘I’ve won five Champions Leagues with this team’,’ Ferdinand told his FIVE YouTube channel after United’s defeat to City.
“He is a fantastic defensive midfielder, one of, if not the best, in the world before he came to Man United.
“The geeze [Casemiro] hasn’t been given a chance, he hasn’t been given a fair crack of the whip. He’s come in and played in a Europa League game against some dead team.
“He ain’t been given a start in the team when he’s fit and ready…
“I wonder the impact it’s having on someone like him.
“I think we will [see Ronaldo and Casemiro play], but I think it’s the context of what games they’re playing in – they could be playing midweek Europa game. That won’t sit well with them.
“They’d be sitting there going, ‘wow, I’m like the Rumbelows Cup player right now, the Carabao Cup player’.
Manchester United will hope to bounce back to winning ways when they face Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League on Thursday before their return to the Premier League against rejuvenated Everton at the weekend.
