After a brilliant 5-2 victory over Leicester City in the Carabao Cup, Manchester United interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy was keen to defend Casemiro, who was voted man of the match with an impressive brace.
The Brazilian, often criticized this season, especially after the defeat against Liverpool, responded in the best way by being decisive from the start of the match with a spectacular goal.
“I’m delighted for Casemiro. The way he trains and supports the team is an example for us all”declared the Dutch coach.
A clear message from Van Nistelrooy to detractors
Erik ten Hag’s successor also stressed that the criticism aimed at Casemiro was unfair: “He was almost wrongly accused after the Liverpool game. He is a player who has won everything, five Champions Leagues… He is a model for us. »
Manchester United, who face Tottenham in the next round, look revitalized with the former Madrilenian in form, and this performance could be a turning point for the Auriverde midfielder this season.
