Recent statistics show that Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has been dribbled past more often than any other player in the Premier League this season. The Brazilian has been beaten 47 times in one-on-one situations, the highest tally in the competition.
These figures underscore a difficult season for the veteran midfielder, who has struggled in individual duels and been frequently bypassed by opponents. Despite his renowned experience and defensive skills, the data reveals a significant drop in his success rate against dribblers compared to other league players, sparking debate over his physical and technical form this campaign.
This comes at a time when Manchester United is enduring an unsettled period, adding to the pressure on the midfield, particularly Casemiro, to shore up the team’s defensive performance.
