Manchester United avoided UEL humiliation in Cyprus but little more. Casemiro has given Erik ten Hag a big decision to make. And not in a good way.
Ronaldo frustrated in hunt for 700, while Casemiro struggles leave Ten Hag with a big decisionCasemiro is making almost no case for a starting place in a Manchester United midfield that remains a conspicuous point of weakness.Maybe not, but Manchester United came pretty close with athat keeps them on track for at least the Europa League play-offs but raised more questions than it answered.
He hit the post from close range when he looked certain to score, pirouetted down a penalty area blind alley after being played through and failed to get on the end of an unselfish Rashford square pass with the goal at his mercy. And that was just in the final 10 minutes of the game. It’s hardly a secret that United’s midfield has been a point of weakness in recent times, and on Sunday they face Everton in the Premier League. The Toffees have been impressively resilient in recent weeks – something or tonight – and their midfield has been one of the unexpected high points of the Premier League season.
There were, however, some positives for United beyond the bare minimum of the result. Chiefly, there was further welcome evidence of the Marcus Rashford Renaissance. He sorted United right out after coming on at half-time.
