Casemiro singled out by Amorim

Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said in his interview on Monday with the BBC's sports editor Dan Roan that some of the club's players were overpaid and some were underperforming.

Ratcliffe didn't single anyone out but was responding to a question in which Antony, Casemiro, Rasmus Hojlund and Andre Onana, amongst others, were mentioned.

Today was the first opportunity to talk about the comments with United head coach Ruben Amorim.

I didn't mention any of the players by name.

Amorim did.

"If we are being honest in this moment, everybody, me, all the players, we are underperforming this season," said the former Sporting boss. "We can always change that and I include myself in that part of the underperforming.

"You are talking about players like Casemiro, for example, that won everything and we know these kind of players can play so much better."

The former Real Madrid great is known to be the highest paid current United player but has been a major disappointment since his first season at the club in 2022-23.

Signed for £70m, Casemiro still has another year left on his contract and recently gave an interview in his native Brazil saying he would like to remain at Old Trafford.
