Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim revealed that he “learns” how to get the best out of the split midfielder Casemiro, which is a considerable shift in opinion.
The 33-year-old midfielder was one of five players who were called out by United Co owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe during a brutal assessment of the club’s squad in a recently carried out interview. When asked about the comments, which some players called “not good enough and some probably overpaid” at the beginning of this week, Amorim did not defend his team, but actively call it to himself, Casemiro actively as someone who “can play so much better”.
A number of injuries that run throughout the squad have forced Amorim to repeatedly turn to the Brazilian. After some difficult moments, the painfully honest head coach of United revealed that there could be hope for Casemiro.
“I think I also learn how to use players like Casemiro, and as they said, without many options, we try to put our players into the best positions, and that helps us a lot,” Amorim beamed after the convincing 4: 1 victory from United via Real Sociedad on Thursday evening.
“I think you can feel that you have more freedom,” Amorim continued. “So I try to find the best solution for the team, and that helps us to play with the same team all the time. It was difficult, sometimes we lost some speed at the end of the games, but we learn.
“I believe [Fernandes] He is dangerous there near the target. “
Casemiro has a lucrative contract with United by 2026, with the option for another 12 months. There were repeated links to a change this summer for the experienced midfielder, but he insisted that it is “talking too early about the next season”.
If Amorim continues to find a way to get the best out of the five -time winner of the Champions League, United may want to keep him nearby.
