Casemiro Assesses His Personal Season as Positive Amidst Team’s League Struggles

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has expressed that his personal performance this season has been positive, notwithstanding the team’s low standing in the league table. The 32-year-old player has recovered form, starting in seven of United’s 11 Premier League matches this campaign, following calls for his departure from the club by Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher after a 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace in May. Following Sunday’s 3-0 victory against Leicester City, he stated: “Well, everyone can see, can’t they? “I only had the Liverpool game, right [the 3-0 home defeat in September]? The whole team was not good in that game, or this season.”Individually, when the goals are missed, of course it ends up hurting the team more, but I think it’s been a good season for me.”” The triumph against the Foxes concluded interim manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s tenure, with Ruben Amorim set to take over during the international break. Casemiro remarked: “He was a legend at Manchester United, he was a legend at Madrid,” adding, “He is a legend of number nines.”It was a pleasure to share that moment with him. We do not know if he will stay or not, but it was a pleasure to share the dressing room with him.”” The five-time Champions League champion expressed confidence that Amorim can restore success to Old Trafford, given his achievement of securing Sporting’s first Portuguese title in 19 years. Casemiro further stated: “He has already proved he is a coach that has won a lot,” continuing, “There is going to be a good template that everyone wants to grow, everyone wants to learn.””
