According to United In Focus, Rio Ferdinand believes that Manchester United FC has not found an adequate replacement for Casemiro, which has negatively impacted the team's balance.

One month into the 2024/25 season, Manchester United manager Michael Carrick faces questions about his tenure. While he performed well as interim manager, his start as permanent manager has been disappointing. In the League Cup match against Brighton, Manchester United led 2-0 but were dramatically beaten 3-2 and eliminated from the competition.

Casemiro left Manchester United FC in June this year after his contract expired and joined Inter Miami. Manchester United signed André Santos, Yuri Tielemans, and Carlos Baleba during the summer to rebuild their midfield, but Baleba has yet to feature due to injury.

Ferdinand said in an interview with Betano that Casemiro was instrumental in Manchester United FC's success last season when Michael Carrick was interim manager.

Ferdinand said: "Michael Carrick needs to help the team establish a tactical system and create their own style of play, rhythm, and tempo. Some of that depends on the current players, but the rest is on the manager to bring in."

"Last season, a lot came from Casemiro, and Manchester United FC still haven't found his replacement. Some say he's past his peak, but look at what Manchester United FC has lost now. He could inspire the team and get everyone to believe in the team's approach. He was willing to seize opportunities and take risks, which you could see in the team's performances."

"That's why he's such an exceptional midfielder. He's proven over many years that he can bring balance to a team. I think the current Manchester United FC players are capable of doing the same, but now Michael Carrick needs to bring that balance as manager. Perhaps Baleba can bring that balance when he returns from injury, which would allow Bruno Fernandes to support the forwards more."

"Manchester United FC needs a player who can inspire the whole team. Someone who can win the ball back, pass it to teammates making forward runs, and ignite the passion of Manchester United supporters. Manchester United FC needs a special player in this position because the team lacks a player with both intensity and creativity."
