Amorim crosses out Casemiro

Coach Ruben Amorim surprised everyone when he let Manuel Ugarte start instead of Casemiro in the Liverpool - MU match at 10:30 p.m. on October 19 (Hanoi time).

Casemiro could be benched for the match against Liverpool.

According to British media, the Portuguese strategist wants to refresh the midfield with a player with better movement and pressing ability. While Casemiro has just played the full 90 minutes for Brazil in two friendly matches against Korea and Japan, Ugarte has been completely rested because coach Marcelo Bielsa did not call him up for the Uruguay squad.

This could give the 23-year-old midfielder a physical advantage, as he is considered to be more active and effective in supporting the defense against high-pressing teams like Liverpool. This factor helped Ugarte to be selected to start against Man City at the beginning of the season and the result was not bad.

Casemiro has only started five Premier League games this season, while Ugarte has started two. However, Amorim's decision may come as a surprise as the former Real Madrid midfielder has been in good form recently.

MU has not won at Anfield since 2016 when Wayne Rooney scored the only goal to win 1-0. This time, Amorim hopes that a younger, more dynamic squad can help the "Red Devils" break the curse that has lasted for nearly a decade.

MU has the right to hope when Liverpool is in poor form with 3 consecutive losses recently.
