Former Manchester United defender, Gary Neville, has insisted that Casemiro and Christian Eriksen should not be playing together for the Red Devils.

According to the former England star, both players do not have the legs to run.

He said following Manchester United’s 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United in their last Premier League outing of 2024

Red Devils ended the year in embarrassing circumstances.

“Casemiro and [Christian] Eriksen haven’t got the legs to get around. Casemiro and Eriksen shouldn’t be playing together in the Premier League,” he said on Sky Sports.

“The two central midfielders can’t run. The back three have no legs. They have been absolutely awful. You are watching the worst pound-for-pound team in the country.

“There are only three of them who can say they have been alright under Amorim: Dalot, (Noussair) Mazraoui and Amad.”

Goals from Alexander Isak and Joelinton in the first half condemned the Red Devils to a 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford.

It meant United have won just once in their last five Premier League games.

Uganda head coach Paul Put has outlined three key areas his side must focus on to secure victory against Nigeria when both teams clash in Tuesday’s Africa Cup of Nations tie.

Put’s side must claim all three points against the Super Eagles or risk an early exit from the competition. The Cranes have just one point in Group C after their opening two matches.
A win against Nigeria could see Uganda qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.

However, speaking at his pre-match press conference on Monday, Put said that for Uganda to overcome Eric Chelle’s side, they must “concentrate be very prepared and win their duels” against Nigeria.

“We have to go for it [win against Nigeria] and we will do it,” Put said.

“Nigerians play at a high level in Europe, so we have to be very concentrated, very prepared and win our duels, which is one of the strong points of Nigeria.”
