According to Sofascore, Casemiro was a major contributor to Manchester United’s dismal performance versus Brighton.

In their first home game against Brighton, Man United came out strong. After a lackluster showing, Erik ten Hag’s squad admitted defeat. The final score was 1-3, and it was the Red Devils’ first home loss in 20 attempts.

Man United has been struggling, and it’s easy to see why: player injuries and problems off the field haven’t helped.The abrupt collapse of Casemiro, a key midfielder who was supposed to help Man United win it all, has been the most disheartening development for Red Devils fans.

The Brazilian player, who was a regular contributor the year before, is fading into obscurity.The former Real Madrid player’s passing rate was only 79% against Roberto De Zerbi’s squad, and he turned the ball over more than 15 times.The former Real Madrid star’s passing stats have dipped significantly this season, with his best game coming against Arsenal, when he completed more than 85% of his passes.

Sofascore reports that the Brazilian player fared poorly versus Brighton, winning just 50% of his duels.Contrast that with the 44% versus Tottenham Hotspur and the even lower 33% against Arsenal.However, it bears repeating that Ten Hag needs to be more perceptive and put another defensive midfielder in with Casemiro to take some of the load off the 31-year-old star.

In Brazil’s recent 1-0 win against Peru, the player born in 1992 received a lot of criticism while wearing the national team jersey.At 31, Casemiro is clearly on the downhill side of his career, and he is showing the effects of age.
