messi1688 Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has responded to media questions over Casemiro’s lack of regular playing time.

The Samba midfielder has been named on the bench but has not been used in 10 of the last 13 games, with his last appearance coming in the 0-2 home defeat to Newcastle United at the end of December. Young midfielder Toby Collyer has often been given the chance to replace Manuel Ugarte and Cobbie Menu in recent times. messi1688

There have also been reports that United are open to letting Casemiro go if the right offer is received in the January transfer window, but there has been no progress on that.

“He has to have certain characteristics and I have to pick players who have those characteristics that I see in the game. That’s how it is,” Amorim said.

“I have to make decisions. I want to play in a style that is sometimes different to other coaches and I have to make decisions from there. That’s it.” ( messi1688 )
