Saha warns Ten Hag to show respect to Varane and Casemiro at Man United

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has cautioned manager Erik ten Hag to display more respect toward Raphael Varane and Casemiro, emphasizing that these experienced players did not join the Red Devils to warm the bench.

Varane and Casemiro played crucial roles in Manchester United’s successful campaign last season, securing the Carabao Cup and finishing third in the Premier League under Ten Hag’s guidance. However, this season, Varane has seen limited action, starting just one of the last 10 matches, while Casemiro is currently sidelined until the New Year.

Saha, speaking to Betting Odds, expressed his observations on Ten Hag’s approach to team selection, particularly with regard to experienced players. He highlighted the risk of a strategy that could potentially send a strong message to the squad but cautioned against underestimating the importance of showing respect to players like Varane and Casemiro, who joined Manchester United with the expectation of significant playing time.
