I'm sure if he was the player-manager, he'd start more.What Stadjer and Vault Dweller said. No desire to start/play, happy to just collect his paycheck in what is essentially semi retirement for him now.
Absolutely it's on the club first.I'm sure if he was the player-manager, he'd start more.
As things stand, his job is to stay fit, be available for selection and do his best when called upon. From what I can see, he's doing his job. Anything beyond that is something we should take up with the club or even the manager, before the player.
The he's got it easy part cannot be understated.Why wouldn’t he? He’s on a massive salary, playing for a top-tier club, and hardly faces any criticism from the fans. He’s got it easy.

Yeah can't see it happening either.Its our choice to play him or not. We gave him an 18.2 million pound a year contract. He’s not obligated to move anywhere just because we would now like him to or because we think we made a mistake with the wages/contract length.
We will have him til the end of his contract now. If saudi wanted him theyd have had him by now. No other european club is coming close to 350k a week. I know everyone thinks he is going to move on in summer but i dont think it will materialise
Playing a 4231 system he could be the "shield" in front of the defensive line. Not ever taking a step in the offensive part of the field. That part, I think, he still could thrive in with his experience. But since our manager love to make all our midfielders look like crap by playing them in a gung-ho system having them run up and down for ninety minutes he will look like crap every game he plays.
Wrong or right, it doesn't matter, but having that kind of money on the bench is so sad.
Yeah - can’t argue with that. That extra year is what makes it all even more tragicomic.Yeah, great shielding for Tottenham's goal.
The guy can't even move!!!! A statue dressed as a footballer.
So much money wasted on him and Shaw. Only hope is the people in charge learned some lessons.
Casemiro is a good option if he has legs next to him. Eriksen doesn’t have any at all, it’s a stupid partnership.
Casemiro should play if he’s partnering Ugarte or Collyer.
Play him in the back 3, thenAs someone said, he played well beside Ugarte in Ruud's games in a 4231. I think he can do a job beside Ugarte and maybe Collyer, but beside anyone else (Bruno, Mainoo, Eriksen) his lack of legs will get exposed because they don't have the legs to cover for him either.
Amorim's very first match v Ipswich away, he picked Cas and Eriksen as the midfield and predictably enough they got the run around. Neither were used much for a number of weeks until Newcastle at home where, inexplicably, Amorim decided to give the pairing another go which, again predictably, ended in disaster and Zirkzee being the sacrificial lamb after 30 minutes.
Now I know you can say what good is a player if he can only play beside certain players and not others. But if he's staying another 18 months, we're paying him a shitload and we're decimated with injuries, Amorim needs to use him in a way that plays to his strengths not his weaknesses.
Yeah you'd hope that Ugarte's energy and higher positional discipline than Bruno may cover some of Casemiro's flawsHappy to see him start today. This is the best midfield pairing (by a distance IMO) that we have had so far this season, and him and Ugarte playing close together was very good under Ruud.
While I agree this combo gives the team a bit more protection but there should be only one of them as a holding mid in front of back three, and two more attack minded central mids in front of Case/Ugarte. This is limiting the whole offence as they cant even take it in turns to joint attack as they both are covering sides emptyed by wing backs. Should be a classic 3-5-2, instead we have this 2holders/two narrow tens/plus struggling Hojlund up top on his own.Happy to see him start today.

3:2 to United, Dalot and Mazraoui with the goals, Mykolenko OG.
Iv’e noticed this. He is also a really big aerial threat. Its a shame hes shot and his defensive game in piss poor.Casemiro has been one of our best progressive passers and goal threats from midfield since he joined. For example, if we swapped Casemiro for Eriksen, I imagine it would appear a ‘positive’ change, but Casemiro is a much bigger offensive contributor I’d say.
I don’t think he’s trying anymore.I keep getting surprised at people who expect something from him (or are getting excited at seeing him in the line up). It's not the legs of his partners that's the issue, it's him. He simply can't play at this tempo anymore.
Spoiler alert: it didn’t. Casemiro should never start another league game for usYeah you'd hope that Ugarte's energy and higher positional discipline than Bruno may cover some of Casemiro's flaws
Yep, the most obvious cases of a player just being there for the money and that says something considering we're talking about United post-Fergie.I don’t think he’s trying anymore.
Who the hell moans that he doesn't start?It's just a cycle of people moaning he doesn't start, he starts, then people moan how finished he is.
Fans need to start booing him. What he's doing is way worse than what Zirkzee did.Yep, the most obvious cases of a player just being there for the money and that says something considering we're talking about United post-Fergie.
