Manchester United manager Erik tenhach dismissed rumors related to Casemiro 'defensive midfielder', who replaced him at half-time after being completely defeated at home against Liverpool on the 2nd (Korea time).
Manchester United lost 0-3 at home in the third round of the English Premier League (EPL) at Old Trafford, giving up consecutive goals to Luis Diaz in the 35th and 42nd minutes of the first half and Salah in the 11th minute of the second half. It was a fatal mistake by veteran defensive midfielder Casemiro in the process of giving up two goals to Diaz in the first half. The first goal gave the opponent a chance after rolling the ball loosely, and allowed a tackle 10 seconds before the second goal, causing a crisis.

However, Tenhach dismissed the allegations. "I met him in the dressing room after the game. That's why he didn't leave the stadium at half-time..." he quickly denied the controversy caused by the video. As for the half-time replacement "It was necessary for the team. You have to take more risks when you are trailing 0-2 against Liverpool. When you lose, you take more risks. In that case, you should give compliments to your team members. We must continue to fight and unite as one", he explained.
Asked how 32-year-old veteran Casemiro responded to the half-time replacement, Tenhach said, `You know the game, he knows the game. He said, "I'm going to keep running and we're going to keep running." "He's a great player. We will continue to strive for the development of our teams and players this season."
"Casemiro has shown a lot of progress and very often shows how good a grit he is. He's lifted all the trophies he can lift in his career"We've all seen him create a decisive moment in midfield. He said, "I'll show you that again and I'll come back."
Despite the poor midfield of Casemiro and Kobe Mainu, who were overwhelmed by the pressure of Liverpool's offensive line from the start of the game, Bruno Fernandes actively covered his teammates' mistakes, saying there would be no criticism in the locker room for their mistakes.
"What's the point of Casemiro losing the ball or Kobe missing the ball?" he asked back. "They lost the ball because they wanted to be brave. It's part of football. Don't blame it on the individual." "Casemiro is more experienced than I am. He knows very well what football is. He has played for two of the world's best clubs." "Koby is also a very good young player. I hope Kobe does this by trying more. Casemiro and Kobe are very big players for us and will continue to be so."
