Manchester United's midfielder Casemiro has opened up about the team's struggles this season, admitting that their current form has been keeping him up at night. The Brazilian emphasized the need for the club to focus on a 'day to day' approach and avoid getting distracted by the race for the title or Champions League spots.
United, who finished third last season, currently find themselves in sixth place on the Premier League table with 49 points. They are trailing fourth-placed Tottenham by 11 points and league leaders Arsenal by a significant 22 points.
Reflecting on the team's position, Casemiro highlighted the challenge of being 20 points adrift from the top spot and stressed the importance of staying grounded. He mentioned the difficulty of not being in contention for titles and the need to shift the focus to immediate matches rather than long-term objectives.
The midfielder pointed out the missed opportunities in recent games, where United failed to capitalize on potential points. He emphasized the importance of taking each game as it comes and maintaining a strong focus on the upcoming fixture against Bournemouth.
United's recent performances have been marred by setbacks, including dropping points from winning positions in matches against Brentford, Chelsea, and Liverpool. Despite the challenges, Casemiro commended the team's response in the intense clash against Liverpool, acknowledging the quality of the opposition and the need to stay resilient.
Looking ahead, Casemiro emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong home record and staying competitive against top teams. He reiterated the team's commitment to focusing on the next match and approaching each game with determination and focus.
