With Ugarte’s arrival at Manchester United, the competition in midfield is intensifying. But Erik Ten Hag has highlighted the importance of Casemiro’s experience and his ability to bounce back from setbacks.
On September 1st, during the reception of Liverpool at Old Trafford in the Premier League, Casemiro made two costly errors that weighed heavily on the defeat of Manchester United (0-3). The poor performance of the Brazilian defensive midfielder has attracted strong criticism from observers.
Despite everything, his coach Erik Ten Hag, who replaced him at half-time, recently reaffirmed his confidence in the former Real Madrid player. And this, even after the arrival of Manuel Ugarte, a new recruit in the Red Devils’ midfield, transferred from Paris Saint-Germain for 50 million euros.
“We need him, that’s for sure”
The Uruguayan is expected to start against Southampton this Sunday, relegating Casemiro to the bench. However, the Dutch coach continues to stress the importance of the Auriverde, who has been informed of Ugarte’s arrival.
“We need him, that’s for sure”Ten Hag said in comments reported by the Daily Mirror. “Of course I talk to him about the situation. Everyone can have a bad day at the office – have you ever had a bad day at the office? He (Casemiro) has experience. I guess it’s not the first time he has had to deal with a bad game. But that’s normal in life, there are ups and downs. In your life and in the life of a football player, there are a lot of people watching and having an opinion about it and you have to deal with it. He knows how to deal with it.”
