Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has candidly expressed the challenges he’s faced with the team’s inconsistent performance this season, admitting to experiencing sleepless nights over the matter.
The Premier League standings reflect United’s current predicament, with the team positioned in sixth place, trailing league leaders Arsenal by a significant 22-point margin.
Recent matches have underscored United’s struggle, particularly evident in their difficulty in maintaining leads in the closing stages. Conceding late equalizers against Brentford and Liverpool, and succumbing to two late goals in a 4-3 loss to Chelsea, have magnified their inconsistencies on the field.
Having previously clinched the LaLiga title three times with Real Madrid, Casemiro acknowledges the stark contrast of not contending for top honors since joining Manchester United.
In an interview with ESPN Brazil, Casemiro articulated the emotional toll of the situation, stating, “It’s difficult. This is the point that bothers me most about not fighting for titles.”
“Being 20 points behind first place. Sometimes, I can’t even sleep to try to think about doing something different. It’s reality. There’s no point in thinking about title or Champions League places, we need to think about today’s games.”
“We need to think about the day to day, we had the opportunity to score nine points in the last few games and we scored two. We were upset. We have to think game by game and focus on the next match, against Bournemouth.”
