Rivaldo: Casemiro Not To Blame For Man Utd's Problems

Brazil legend Rivaldo claims Casemiro is not to blame for Manchester United's problems this season.

It has been a difficult season for the Red Devils, who are set to finish outside of the top four in the Premier League.

Erik ten Hag has been hit with a number of injuries, which has seen Casemiro being forced to play in central defence.

Casemiro's form this campaign has also seen him miss out on Brazil's Copa America squad, but Rivaldo feels the move to Old Trafford was not a good a choice.

 "Casemiro is a great person, a friend of mine and someone I played with when I was at Sao Paulo. He had an amazing career at Real Madrid," Rivaldo told  Betting.Betfair.com.

"In my opinion, it was the wrong decision for him to leave Real Madrid for Manchester United.

"I think he was living a beautiful story at Real Madrid, but of course, the financial side of things helped his decision.

"Manchester United are in a terrible moment, with so many injuries and Casemiro is a midfield player, not a striker or defender, so people criticise him playing out of position, but in my opinion, he is not to blame at all, because Manchester United are struggling massively on their own."
