Casemiro, the powerful midfielder, has confessed that Manchester United’s difficulties this season have caused him to lose sleep. The 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Sunday at Old Trafford has dealt a significant blow to United’s slim chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season. With only seven games remaining, they are currently 11 points behind Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa, who are in fourth and fifth place in the Premier League. The Champions League will be expanded next season, with two spots reserved for clubs from top-performing countries in Europe. There is a strong possibility that England will secure an additional spot, which would result in the top five teams in the Premier League qualifying. The discussion is focused on whether Manchester United should retain Erik ten Hag. Harry Maguire sends a brief message to Willy Kambwala following the draw against Liverpool. With United now trailing fifth place by 11 points, it appears increasingly probable that they will be competing in either the Europa League or Europa Conference League next season. Therefore, Casemiro has acknowledged that the club must remain focused and not be distracted by the desire to win the most prestigious trophies. Speaking to ESPN Brazil, Casemiro stated that this can be challenging. This is the issue that troubles me the most about not competing for championships: being 20 points behind the leader. At times, I find it difficult to fall asleep because I am preoccupied with thoughts of trying new things.
