Scott McTominay Proves to be a Capable Replacement for Suspended Casemiro
Following the suspension of Casemiro for Manchester United, fans may have felt anxious, but Scott McTominay’s impressive performance for Scotland has eased any worries.
During their Euro 2024 qualifier against Cyprus, the central midfielder scored a brace, earning him praise for two brilliant finishes in a 3-0 win. Although scoring may not be McTominay’s primary strength, it has reminded fans of his ability to fill the void left by the Brazilian.
Casemiro received a four-match suspension for his second red card this season, during their match against Southampton, causing a significant loss for Erik ten Hag’s side. As United push for a top-four finish, they will miss Casemiro during their upcoming Premier League matches against Newcastle, Brentford, and Everton. However, with McTominay flying high and full of confidence, fans hope that he’ll be able to alleviate the burden of United missing arguably their most critical player.
With at least 13 games left this term, Casemiro has ample opportunity to make up for lost time while serving his suspension.
The Red Devils are currently third in the Premier League, three points ahead of fifth-placed Newcastle, making it likely that McTominay will also receive game time. Fans hope that he will be able to replicate his goalscoring success at club level. In addition to McTominay’s impressive performance, on-loan midfielder Marcel Sabitzer also impressed during the international break, scoring a stunning free-kick for Austria.
