Casemiro‘s wife has leapt to her husband’s defence after the Manchester United midfielder was widely criticised for his performance in his side’s 3-0 defeat by Liverpool on Sunday.

The Brazilian star was at fault for Liverpool’s first two goals as he gave the ball away twice before Luis Diaz punished him on both occasions.

Sky Sports co-commentator Jamie Carragher admitted it was a ‘sad sight’ to see Casemiro struggling so badly, and he was hauled off at half-time by Erik ten Hag, with youngster Toby Collyer replacing him.

It is not the first time that Carragher has hit out at Casemiro’s performance level as he also called for United to move on from the midfielder towards the back end of last season after their humiliating 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace. Casemiro was also ridiculed on social media after his hapless display, but his wife has hit back at his critics.

Taking to Instagram in the early hours of Monday morning, Anna Mariana Casemiro posted a photo of her husband’s incredible trophy cabinet at the home that they share together, reminding fans of everything he has won in the game.

The 32-year-old won the Champions League five times with Real Madrid, as well as three LaLiga titles and the Copa del Rey before joining United in 2022, and they were all on display in the picture.

He has also won the Copa America with Brazil, and two trophies in his first two seasons at United.
