The Brazilian midfielder scored twice in Man Utd’s 3-4 defeat to Bayern Munich but it was not enough to cover up his weaknesses.

Man Utd just had a trip to Bayern Munich’s stadium in the opening match of this season’s Champions League group stage.

The Red Devils played completely inferior to Bayern Munich

Statistics show that when Bayern launched 19 shots with 9 shots on target and controlled the ball 60%. In contrast, Man Utd only had 9 shots and 4 shots on goal.

However, Man Utd only lost by a minimal margin when the final score was 4-3 in favor of Bayern.

There, Casemiro surprised everyone by scoring a double.

The Brazilian midfielder’s efforts helped Man Utd leave with a result that was not too bad. However, this was not necessarily Casemiro’s best performance.

Casemiro’s performance is really problematic this season. Against Bayern, Casemiro’s strongest point, protecting the defense, was not effective.

Indeed, the former Real Madrid star only won 4/10 duels, lost the ball 7 times and was dribbled past him 5 times. Images of Jamal Musiala surpassing Casemiro were often seen in this match.

Christian Eriksen is showing signs of age so he cannot provide the best support for Casemiro. Clearly Casemiro needs someone to spread the fire urgently.

If this situation lasts, Casemiro may run out of energy when Man Utd has to fight on many league.
