‘Don’t deserve’ – Gary Neville criticizes Casemiro after Man United win and points out a key name

Football — 08/15/2023

On Sky Sports, Gary Neville spoke out clearly pointing out the problem of Manchester United after the win over Wolves.

In the opening match of the Premier League 2023/24 against Wolves at home, Manchester United revealed the problem. The midfield of the Red Devils has difficulty in front of the visitors’ midfielders.

It seems that the fact that Casemiro plays alongside Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount makes Man Utd’s midfield vulnerable. Despite winning 1-0, but after the match, Gary Neville commented on Sky Sports:

“Man Utd are trying to recruit Sofyan Amrabat to side with Casemiro. I don’t know who Erik ten Hag will eliminate but Man Utd has a reason to buy Amrabat. One thing is clear that Ten Hag will not use the type of player Fred. or McTominay, who he doesn’t feel good enough with the ball at his feet. Ten Hag wants a midfielder who knows how to pass and receive the ball. Amrabat is a passer that can go hand in hand with Casemiro.”

“Casemiro was completely outclassed tonight. Wolves were excellent at making Man Utd lose midfield. That was a worry for Ten Hag. Wolves played well, they got everything but the goal. Manchester United were outplayed and can feel fortunate that they came away with three points. They did not deserve it.”

“Man Utd’s midfield doesn’t exist, it’s empty,” Gary Neville continued to tell Sky Sports after Man Utd beat Wolves on August 14.

“In pre-season, everything looked good with Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes coming up high, leaving Casemiro below. But the problem showed in the opening game of the season. You have to have balance.”

Man Utd’s midfield includes rookie Mason Mount paired with Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes plays higher and the attacking trio Garnacho – Marcus Rashford – Anthony. “Red Devils” lack cohesion in attack and indiscretion in defense. The line between the hosts many times let Matheus Nunes and Matheus Cunha pull the ball straight into the middle, creating many dangerous opportunities.

“Three offensive players don’t defend hard enough,” added Neville.

“It’s a real concern because Wolves played really badly last season and just changed champions a few days ago. A lot of people are worried about their season, but they played better than Man Utd today.”
