In the career of Manchester United midfield general Casemiro, controversial comments have recently emerged regarding the direction of his future. Former Liverpool star Carragher has suggested that Casemiro should consider ending his top-flight career to continue playing in leagues such as Saudi Arabia, a view that has been revisited following the Double Red Club. However, legendary Manchester United defender Ferdinand took strong exception to this and felt that such comments were extremely disrespectful to Casemiro.
Ferdinand pointed out that Casemiro had performed well in his first two games with United and was one of the team's most impressive performers. He emphasized that soccer is a team sport, and a player's performance is often influenced by the team's overall tactics and style of play. In Ferdinand's opinion, the reason why Casemiro is currently struggling at United is not because of a decline in his individual ability, but because United's style of play doesn't exactly suit him.
Ferdinand further explained that Casemiro was known for his excellent defensive tackling and precise passing at Real Madrid, but United have asked him to take on more long passes and control the tempo of the game. This shift is a huge challenge for a player who is used to a particular style of play. Ferdinand believes that United should adapt their tactical system to Casemiro's characteristics instead of making him adapt to an environment that doesn't suit him.
In addition, Ferdinand also criticized those who easily dismissed Casemiro's comments. He pointed out that Casemiro, as a seasoned veteran, has achieved numerous honors and accomplishments in his career. It would be unfair to dismiss his full value just because he has underperformed in a few games for United. Ferdinand emphasized that United should give Casemiro more trust and support to help him adapt to the team's style of play as soon as possible and play his best.
