Rio Ferdinand slams Erik ten Hag's Casemiro decision after Man Utd's derby disaster

Rio Ferdinand has demanded that Erik ten Hag play Casemiro after the Manchester United midfielder was benched for the Red Devils' humiliating 6-3 defeat in the Manchester derby.

The 30-year-old Brazilian is yet to start a Premier League match for United after signing from Real Madrid in a deal worth up to £60million in August. Instead, manager Erik ten Hag has stuck with in-form pairing Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay, but the duo were torn apart by bitter rivals City during Sunday's mauling.

Ferdinand firmly disagrees with Ten Hag's loyalty towards Eriksen and McTominay, with the former Red Devils defender making his feelings clear on his Vibe with FIVE YouTube show.
