The wife of Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has dismissed the wave of criticism of her husband after he performed poorly in the Premier League match against Liverpool on Sunday.
The Brazilian was taken off the pitch at the halfway line by Erik ten Hag as he was unable to handle a midfield task, while Manchester United was losing to their rivals 2-0.
Fans have been vocal in their discontent, with many waiting for Manuel Ugarte to come and replace Casemiro as a holding midfielder.
The Uruguayan should be ready for his Manchester United debut as St. Mary’s after being awarded his official shirt number, as reported by Sportsbuddy.
Some were actually speculating that Casemiro has been showing poor or at least not his best form in the last year and might be headed to the Saudi Pro League.
This post was seen as a defiant response to the mounting criticism, reminding fans of Casemiro’s storied career and his contributions at the highest level.
Casemiro’s Wife Defends His Legacy
In response to the criticism, Casemiro’s wife, Anna Mariana Casemiro, shared a picture of her husband and the numerous trophies he has won, including five Champions League, on her Instagram on Sunday evening.
Some fans saw this post as Casemiro standing up to the criticism and defending himself by pointing out that he is an established player of great achievements at the elite level.
Fans React to Anna Mariana’s Post
Several fans offered their reactions to the post. It was a bit funny, but one X user aggressively asked, “How does that change the fact your husband is sh*t?”
Another added, “Your husband must be so bad that no Saudi club wants him.“
On the other hand, some fans expressed relief that the club signed Ugarte before the transfer window shut, remarking, “Imagine we did not sign Ugarte before the window closed? We’ll be so f**ked.
Manchester United’s next Premier League match will be a trip to St. Mary’s as they face Southampton in an early kick-off.
