Manchester United duo Kobbie Mainoo and Christian Eriksen have been accused of catching the ‘Casemiro bug’ after their below-par displays in the Red Devils’ 1-1 draw with Burnley on Saturday. Tim Sherwood believes Mainoo and Eriksen are guilty of not running as much as they can during matches.
United fell to yet another dismal result with Erik ten Hag doing little to convince INEOS that he deserves to remain in the job beyond the summer. Zeki Amdouni’s late penalty sealed a point for relegation-threatened Burnley after Antony had given United the lead at Old Trafford. Sherwood was disappointed by the performance of Ten Hag’s side and believes that even some of their better players have fallen foul of what he believes is a bad ‘culture’ within the club. The 55-year-old singled out Mainoo and Eriksen for not running enough, and compared them with the under-performing Casemiro.
Sherwood feels Casemiro’s poor displays have influenced his Man Utd team-mates. “I can’t see what they do. In possession, they are all about moments and out of possession they are a shambles. They really are.

The worrying thing is that the midfield does not run, when the ball gets played behind them their heads start wobbling.”
Meanwhile, Ten Hag slammed his players for losing control in the game and claimed they had ‘given away’ two points. “Strong start to the game. Loads of chances then we lost in control in second part of first half. “Second half was all ours and we are in a winning position and we give the game away at the end.
Very frustrated, shouldn’t happen. You put yourself in difficult positions. Over many phases of the game we did very good so at the end we have to take the three points and the clean sheet. We gave it away again at the end.”
