After Sir Jim Ratcliffe Dragged Dirt on Manchester United Move, Casemiro Gets Candid on Injured Neymar’s Terrible Plight

Published 10/18/2023, 8:22 AM EDT

Things for Brazil have taken a turn for the worse. In the 45th minute against Uruguay, Neymar was taken off the pitch on a stretcher due to a knee injury. Manchester United midfielder and Brazil captain, Casemiro, shared his thoughts on the team’s performance as he talked about the unfateful injury Ney sustained on the pitch.

Meanwhile, Qatar’s interest in the Manchester United takeover is finally off. Sir Jim Ratcliffe is now the frontrunner in the race to acquire a 25 percent stake in the club. Citing his interest, Ratcliffe has spoken against a few things that have happened at the club, and among those is the move that United made for Casemiro.

Neymar’s injury looks to be an awful one. The Al Hilal player stretched his leg to take the ball forward as he dribbled past Uruguay’s Nicolas De la Cruz. Ney, however, landed awkwardly as he tripped and fell, holding his left leg as he cried in pain. Brazil’s captain, Casemiro, shares his concerning views on Neymar while he hopes that the injury is not too serious.

Casemiro in his post-match press conference said, “Honestly, I didn’t see him (in the dressing room). For Neymar to leave the pitch, it’s certainly a very serious moment. I hope it’s nothing. He’s a very important player for us, we have a lot of affection for him. He’s had injuries, injuries, injuries, and when he starts to get into a rhythm, he has another one. I hope it’s nothing.”

The Brazil No. 10 has been unlucky with injuries. He recently made his comeback after facing months of injury while at his former club PSG. Neymar was looking to regain his form, as he showcased spectacular performances against Peru and Bolivia in the last international break. A draw against Venezuela and the loss to Uruguay has dropped the Selecao to the third position.

Meanwhile, things are not looking too good for Brazil’s captain Casemiro. In Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s recent visit to Old Trafford, the English businessman saw many problems with the club’s transfer policy. Casemiro was among one of the concerns pointed out by Ratcliffe.

Qatar has no interest in buying Manchester United. It all happened after Glazers rejected Sheikh Jassim’s $8 billion offer for a 100 percent takeover of the club. Even after multiple bids and a long and tedious bidding battle, Qatar remained unsuccessful in its goal. Sir Jim Ratcliffe can now pursue his move as he wishes to buy a 25 percent stake in the club.

However, during Ratcliffe’s visit to Old Trafford, he cited many problems with the operations at the club. The English businessman also lamented United’s transfer policy as he cited United’s move to sign 30-year-old Casemiro from Real Madrid. Red Devil’s transfer policy has constantly been driven by managerial agendas. With several managerial changes over the years, the club hasn’t focused much on building a squad in line with a sporting project. Casemiro signed a four-year deal with $427,000 in weekly wages.

Ratcliffe’s potential 25 percent stake acquisition in the club for more than $1.3 billion raises concerns about Arnold and Murtough’s roles. Richard Arnold, in charge of recruitment, and John Murtough, who identifies transfer targets, may face changes due to Ratcliffe’s unconventional recruitment views, which could alter the club’s approach to player recruitment.
