Erik ten Hag warned that Casemiro and Cristiano Ronaldo 'not on side' at Manchester United
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been sent a warning that Casemiro and Cristiano Ronaldo may not be "on side" at the club after the Dutchman named the pair on the substitutes bench for the Manchester derby.
Ten Hag's first Manchester derby was far from the ideal return from the international break that the Dutchman would have hoped for. United will be keen to regroup and refocus on Sunday night's Everton fixture in the Premier League, as they look to get back to winning ways.
One of the big talking points after the 6-3 defeat was Ten Hag's decision to pick Scott McTominay over Casemiro once again. The Brazilian is yet to start in the league for United, as he joined Ronaldo on the bench for last Sunday's derby.

Cristiano Ronaldo pushed down football rich list by Kylian Mbappe
Cristiano Ronaldo has seen his place at the top of football's rich list surpassed by PSG star Kylian Mbappe, with the Frenchman's new contract in Paris elevating him to the top of the list ahead of the Manchester United striker and his long-term adversary Lionel Messi.
In the new list, released by Forbes for the 2022/23 season, Mbappe's $128m (£115m) earnings take him to the top of the list, with the star having signed a new deal with the French champions in the summer to elevate him to the summit of football's highest earners. His teammate at PSG, Lionel Messi has taken the second spot in the list ahead of Ronaldo, with his earnings in the French capital totalling $110m (£99m).
Ronaldo's contract at Manchester United makes him the highest earner at the club, but sees him placed below the two leaders. His on-field earnings of $40m (£36m) are a long way below Mbappe and Messi, but his off-field earnings of $60m (£54m) are the highest in the list and keep him ahead of Neymar in fourth position.
Kobbie Mainoo gives Manchester United fans reason to be hopeful
When a new young prospect bursts onto the scene many are quick to compare them to a current great.
The 'next Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney, Paul Scholes' tags can often weigh a player down with the burden of expectation. Very few make it to the heights of those that they aspire to be and are all too quickly deemed 'failures' because of it.
Unfortunately for Kobbie Mainoo he will most likely be saddled with the same pressure, but if his performance for the under-21s against Brighton and Hove Albion this weekend is anything to go by, he should hopefully be able to cope just fine.
