I think he did Ok - and while he rushed a number of passes and turned them over to Brighton on a number of occasions, I do expect that when he's up against lively, pacey, skillful youngsters running around him, he'll need some help, in whatever form he is in

Had a poor game where he both missed tackles and was reckless. Close to a red card. However he was great just 4 days ago so I assume he was just tired.

Overworked. Tired from carrying us too much this season. But also not someone we can rely on not to get sent off... Certainly on a downhill trajectory after being our best player earlier in the season
I don't think he was as bad as some of you made him out to be. Overall, his performance was okay, but his recklessness and lack of awareness regarding bookings did worry me.
I think he’s been bang average for the past 3 months. Another one who‘s performances have never recovered from the bashing at Anfield.
Of course. Redcafe tends to exaggarate on most things.
At times I just wondered who of our marvelous Brazilian midfielders it was this time. He descended into Fred territory.
Sunday people were saying he is the best of the best and incredible and today he’s terrible. So reactionary. We’re drawing out the end of the campaign on the back of an absolutely mental World Cup season. We have played more games than anyone which is mentally draining aswell as physically. We all know we’re flagging and going to wimper over the top 4 finish line, if at all. Let’s give it another summer transfer window and see who we sign to partner him in midfield. Next season should be less cramped in and hopefully we can rotate better also. 100% deserves another season, he has at times been our best player. There’s still mileage in this guy.
CDM need cover and he gets none. We leave him exposed whilst everyone is running around in front of him clueless.
Put any other CDM in that position today our CD gets battered.

It's partly why our midfield was even worse when Sabitzer came on. He was nowhere near Casemiro most of the time.
That said, I think Casemiro was okay defensively yesterday, but on the ball he was a let down yet again. He's often in too much of a rush to pass first time and scuffs it. It's one thing when Fernandes is doing that in an advanced position, but it's unacceptable when it's your defensive midfielder and losing possession leaves your fullbacks out of position.
Yeah his passing game is unacceptable for a player at this level, too wayward for me.
Needs players around him to provide the quality on the ball.
Walked a tightrope, especially with Marriner as ref, but he made some crucial tackles and interceptions.
Passing is always going to be slightly worse when he doesn’t have Eriksen and Martínez to help in that regard and is expected to carry the burden alone.
On another night, those sweeping first time passes find Rashford etc and we have opened up the opposition defence instantly.

Let's just say if we spent the Antony money on Rice I think we'd be a much more compact team.
I was more referring to risk of getting two players from relegation-level sides, but I do agree that one of the would help. And the Antony money could have been spent better.
West Ham 1:0 Man Utd
When’s his suspension over? Really good do with him back for the last few games!
Just terrible tonight. 70m and he produces nothing.
He has gone missing since the start of Feb.

Noticed him twice the entire game. Worrying.
Surprised people are going in on him. Not at his best but definitely not the worst culprit today.
We've been had here. He's been consistently 5 yards off the pace all season. He's not good enough for the prem at this stage of his career.
That is just absolute bollocks. He’s been poor recently but until his suspension he was lauded as one of the best midfielders in the league.
Not sure what happened but hes not the same player as before the suspensions.
Nah he was widely praised as one of the best mids in the PL before his recent suspensions. His first half of the season was class.
He's had three good games calm down. Was just a huge improvement over Mcfred. Doesn't make him great.
This, rightly so as well. He was really good until recently.
He's not been great at all since his return from suspension. We have three out of four home games so hopefully that helps him get some form.
Maybe the cup final will bring out his best?

He was hiding today
How much are Bayern offering? Gravenberch plus £30m and I'd listen to that offer.
Went missing. Couldn't live with West Ham's physicality.
He’s been poor for a while now. He just needs to be dropped when underperforming and I’m sure he’ll come good. We just keep playing him.
Find it hard to criticise him today. Felt we hung him out to dry. Played a midfield 2 of him and Eriksen with Wout at 10 against a high energy team. He was very quiet, but I don’t think he was helped at all.
Remember the time we signed Matic, and he looked quality for the first while? 
Short-sighted signing, once again. The United way.
He has been off form for a while now he looks shot.
The knee jerk reactions on cafe are sometimes even worse than twitter.
Poor gamewise.
Even worse as a leader or a figure of success.
Zero intensity.
90 minutes of nothingness.

He was in midfield with Eriksen and Wout, so he was always going to be up against it. Quite a comedown from Kroos and Modric.
Casemiro was far from the worst player today.

I said he was being overrated by some fans and got hounded for it. As much as Casemiro has improved United's midfield, I don't think Casemiro should be the midfielder you want to have the most touches on the ball. His passing can be erratic at times, and he is a hot head. He's similar to Bruno in a lot of was, and one Bruno is already too much to deal with if you want to play possession football.
