EPL: Ten Hag disrespects Ronaldo, Casemiro - Ferdinand

Rio Ferdinand noted that midfielder Casemiro and Cristiano Ronaldo are not respected at Manchester United.

He says the two senior footballers, who were left out of Man United's XI by Erik ten Hag in their embarrassing loss to neighbors Manchester City on Sunday, will feel 'disrespected' by the Dutch manager .

United were demolished 6-3 by Pep Guardiola's side at the Etihad Stadium as hat-tricks from Erling Haaland and Phil Foden sealed a 6-3 victory for Pep Guardiola's side.< /p>

Casemiro has started just one Europa League game since joining the Red Devils from Real Madrid for £70m

"Casemiro is another, he's sitting there saying, 'I've won five Champions Leagues with this team,' Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel FIVE after United's loss to City.

"He is a fantastic defensive midfielder, one of the best, if not the best, in the world before he came to Man United.

"The geeze [Casemiro] didn't have a chance, he didn't get a fair shot. He came in and played in a Europa League game against a dead team.

"He hasn't started in the team when he's fit and ready...

"I wonder what impact this has on someone like him.

"I think we'll [see Ronaldo and Casemiro play], but I think that's the context of the games they play - they could play the Europa game in midweek. They won't like it

"They would be sitting there saying, 'wow, I'm like the Rumbelows Cup player right now, the Carabao Cup player'."

Manchester United will be hoping to get back to winning ways when they face Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League on Thursday before their return to the Premier League against a rejuvenated Everton this weekend.
