Casemiro, who cost Real Madrid £70 million, was denied the chance to start the Premier League matchup against Manchester City.
Scott McTominay, who had started despite Casemiro’s entrance, was replaced at the hour mark by the Brazilian.
On the day Casemiro was introduced, United earned their first victory of the year. Since then, they have won four straight games, which Ten Hag ascribed to his choice to stick with a successful club.
Why Does Casemiro Sit On Manchester United’s Bench?
Given his high pay and impressive performance at Real Madrid, where he won five Champions Leagues, many people are surprised by Casemiro’s irregular usage. In each of his prior games, he came off the bench to begin.
The inability of United’s midfield to thwart City’s relentless bombardment of attacks served as a stark reminder of Casemiro’s absence.
In the past, he excelled as a holding midfielder for Spain and was renowned for thwarting opposition attacks, which may have had an impact on Sunday.
Ten Hag stated: “We started winning the day we signed him, because it’s all about the team.
“The team is performing incredibly well; in this instance, it’s for Scott McTominay rather than Casemiro.
Then we go on a run, but I’m sure it will be crucial for us in the long and short terms. He did a great job for the team. He will integrate into the group, but it must happen organically.
