Anonymous Casemiro and questionable selections: what’s wrong at fragile Manchester United? via IrishTimesSport
Another example: the manager maintains that any player excluded from the side should be ready to seize his chance because this is how “top football” works. Marcel Sabitzer seemed to have done precisely this by scoring twice in the home draw with Sevilla. Yet he was dropped for the FA Cup semi-final win over Brighton, reinstated for the 3-0 loss at Sevilla, played 86 minutes of the victory over Aston Villa but was a late substitute at Brighton and West Ham.
The errors of an elite No 1 should be as rare as the penalty misses by an elite centre-forward but De Gea was also culpable for two of Sevilla’s goals in the away defeat. The Spaniard’s form is shaky at the worst moment of the campaign.The Brazilian has gone from a contender for United’s player of the season to the misfiring man of the midfield, a reversal that can be traced back to his sending-off against Crystal Palace in February’s FA Cup win.
Cue a four-match suspension and a third ban of the season for the 31-year-old, who had collected five yellow cards by mid‑January, meaning he was absent for the defeat at Arsenal. Missing eight matches, more than 20 per cent of the 38-match Premier League season, because of indiscipline is the antithesis of professional. He may not be learning, either, because Casemiro has since collected two more domestic yellows and, after these infractions, Ten Hag’s engine-room leader has been muted.
