Manchester United supporters are worried about Casemiro in the wake of their 2-2 draw with Tottenham on Thursday night. The Brazil international was flat during the showdown in north London and, since serving two suspensions, appears to have suffered a knock to his confidence. The Samba star has been a huge hit ever since his summer arrival but, for the first time at Old Trafford, he’s now enduring a dip in form.

“Casemiro haven’t been the same since a certain Ivan Rakitić cooked him,” mocked @Gaviball_.
And @Magnifico778 even went as far to say: “Casemiro is just as bad on the ball as David de Gea.”
United will be hoping Casemiro can rediscover his best form as quickly as possible with matches continuing to come thick and fast.
The Red Devils are next in action against Aston Villa on Sunday (2pm).
And United will need to be at their best to beat Unai Emery’s side, who have been outstanding ever since the Spaniard’s appointment earlier in the season.

Speaking after the result in the capital, meanwhile, Erik ten Hag admitted he was unhappy with his side’s collapse.
"The goals we conceded, they were so easy,” said the 53-year-old. “We didn't block the crosses and you have to be proactive there.
“We have to come out to block the shot with the second long ball and we didn't squeeze out - it was so easy for them and it kept coming and it was so easy to score a goal then.
"We come into every game to win, but it was clear how they managed the game.
“We wanted to win, which we didn't [do]. I think before [the game], the draw was okay.

“But when you see this game, when you are 2-0 up, of course then you have to manage the game and put it over the line."

“But first we have to get to that point and therefore we need all the energy and recover.
“Get ready for that game, get the energy, get the focus. And then we go again."
