The former Manchester United defender singled out Casemiro for criticism following Monday’s game.
Gary Neville expressed his concerns over Manchester United’s midfield performance in their 1-0 Premier League win over Wolves.
Neville singled out Casemiro for a particularly poor showing on Monday. The football pundit wants United to target Sofyan Amrabat. He believes the Moroccan’s passing ability would make him a better midfield partner than Fred or Scott McTominay for Casemiro.
Various reports have linked Amrabat, who currently plays for Italian team Fiorentina, with United all summer.
“They want to buy Sofyan Amrabat for a reason,” Neville said on Sky Sports.
“One thing that [United manager] Erik ten Hag is not going to do is go back to the likes of Fred and Scott McTominay. He believes [they] are technically not good enough on the ball.
“He wants everybody in the team to be able to accept the football and receive it. Sofyan Amrabat coming in, he is a passer of the ball and can sit in there alongside Casemiro.”
On Monday’s performance against Wolves, Neville said: “Casemiro got absolutely torn to shreds tonight.
“Man Utd’s midfield were non-existent and they were absolutely ripped apart. Wolves were absolutely fantastic. Manchester United’s midfield was non-existent, it emptied. That would have been a real worry for Erik ten Hag.”
Neville added that Wolves’ performance in the match impressed him. In fact, he reckons that they were unlucky not to come away with at least a point.
