Manchester United returned to winning ways on Saturday as they sealed a 2-0 success against Everton at Old Trafford.
It was far from a vintage performance from the Red Devils but they managed to secure full points from the home encounter.
Alejandro Garnacho won two penalty kicks in the first half, which were both converted by Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.
The Toffees created many opportunities but lack of quality in the final third meant they lost their 13th top-flight game this season.
Manager Erik ten Hag started Casemiro alongside Kobbie Mainoo in midfield, but the Brazilian failed to impress with his performance.
He looked short of confidence as he lost possession an incredible 17 times.
The former Real Madrid star completed just one of his three long balls and was also dribbled past once.
However, he won three of his four ground duels and completed three tackles in the game.
Casemiro joined United in the summer of 2022 in a deal worth up to £70 million.
The Brazil international enjoyed an impressive first season at Old Trafford as he made 51 appearances across all tournaments with 14 goal contributions to his name.
But the experienced midfielder has struggled with form and injury issues this campaign, featuring in 15 Premier League games and bagging a goal.
Manchester United need to sign an upgrade on Casemiro who has recently turned 32 and is nowhere as effective as he once was.
There is said to be interest from the Saudi Pro League and if they can recoup some of the £70m they paid in 2022, they should sell him.
