Man Utd news LIVE: Casemiro snubs exit as Manuel Ugarte debut could be delayed | Football | Sport

Roy Keane has suggested playing Casemiro higher up the pitch.

The Man Utd midfielder was hauled off at half-time after making two mistakes which led to Liverpool goals last Sunday.

Casemiro has generally started in a holding midfield role but United icon Keane believes he could be useful further up the pitch.

“I wouldn’t be writing him off yet,” the ex-midfielder said.

“His role in the team, if he gets back in and a couple of games under his belt, might be a bit higher up the pitch.

“The first thing we always say is, ‘he can’t get around the pitch’. But what we’ve seen going forward, he does have an eye for a pass. Set-pieces, how many times does he get his head on it?”
