How do you replace Casemiro at Man Utd? | People can’t be picky about performances
4/28/202636 min
Fresh off winning “YouTube Channel of the Year” at the British Sports Journalism Awards, Rio Ferdinand is joined by Ste Howson and Joel Beya to break down Manchester United’s performance against Brentford and what it really says about this team.
Casemiro’s record-breaking numbers spark a bigger debate: how do Manchester United replace him? And do those replacements have the mentality required to thrive under the pressure of Old Trafford?
Rio also gives his honest take on Michael Carrick’s time as interim manager, the perception around his impact, and what it could mean for his future in terms of a more permanent role.
Mainoo gets his flowers for his recent performances before Ste gets praised after key predictions on Liam Rosenior and Arsenal’s title race struggles come true.
