Erik ten Hag Defends Casemiro After Liverpool Loss

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag affirmed his belief that midfielder Casemiro can recover from a poor performance in the team's 3-0 defeat to Liverpool. Casemiro lost possession leading to two of Liverpool's goals and was substituted at half-time for Toby Collyer, making his Premier League debut. Ten Hag emphasized the need for tactical changes as United pursued a comeback against a strong opponent, asserting that Casemiro still plays an important role in the squad. Despite concerns about the team's performance, with United sitting 14th in the league with only three points from three matches, Ten Hag expressed confidence in the team's potential for improvement and success this season. He also clarified that Casemiro did not leave the stadium at half-time, dispelling rumors regarding his commitment. The next challenge for United will be against Southampton after the international break.
