What are Erik ten Hag’s midfield options without Casemiro and Christian Eriksen?

Both players in the midfield swivel that has been at the heart of Manchester United’s appearance this season, Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, will be unobtainable to manager Erik ten Hag for the next three sports.

Eriksen was ruled out until late April or early May last week later a terror tackle from Reading’s Andy Carroll led to an important ankle scratch.

Casemiro has added affront to injury by being sent off against Crystal Palace today for holding Will Hughes by the neck during a group altercation.

He will be banned for three matches for savage behavior.

The Brazilian’s forced absence will put paid to any ideas the manager might have had of slowly amalgamating loan signing Marcel Sabitzer into the United side.

“While Sabitzer learns, United must negotiate a compressed series of February fixtures,” The Athletic’s Carl Anka wrote before the Palace match.

“[Casemiro-Fred] is a relationship with archive in the Brazil federal team, but favors solidity over innovation and left United looking flat for much of the first half [against Reading].

“For all of Fred’s advance this summer when coming off the replacement bench, his 

grade is best absorbed on limiting the space the antagonism can fancy in midfield.”

However, Anka’s colleague at The Athletic, Mark Critchley, trusts that Casemiro has been a good patron going forward as well.

“[He] is an even great utility when you trust the added and mostly unpredicted bonus United are getting for their take.

“Casemiro was not carried on Old Trafford to score two past a mid-table Championship outfit in the FA Cup fourth round. But his goals against Reading last weekend were his third and fourth of the summer, following two in the Premier League against Chelsea and Bournemouth.

Another player who could be composed into a full-back is Lisandro Martinez, who played 22 times for Ten Hag as a holding midfielder at Ajax. His place in guard could be taken by Luke Shaw, who transcend there during his post-World Cup absence, with Tyrell Malacia coming in at left-back.

Perfect chance for Chelsea to restart the season

Chelsea must look at this week as a replace begin the season all over again and start a lucid slate. We face Bournemouth on Tuesday night in our first Premier League game back in over a month later the World Cup enforced a break in play. Chelsea has had the perfect chance to rest up and reset ready for the return of league football, but now they must make full use of this break and make secure they come back hitting the  floor running. There is no easy game in the Premier League, but a  match at home against Bournemouth, who are presently down in 14th place in the table, should be looked at as one of the more favorable games we could have been drawn for this week. Chelsea must use this game to bounce back and resume our season, and we must look to make an assertion in our concert as well. Chelsea had a lot of players playing at the World Cup, but even still, many of them were fixed-left behind the back at Cobham and have been able to work on a number of things in teaching with Graham P

Chelsea’s new owners serious about midfield rebuild

Chelsea’s midfield is in anguished need of a revamp. At the moment, it is aging and lacks many elements that any midfield of a team who wants to challenge at the very top should have. Chelsea’s new owners are  apparently fully aware of this and are conducting a serious midfield  remodel in the next couple of transfer windows. News has derived from nowhere over the last 24 hours  concerning Chelsea going hard to try and sign Enzo Fernandez from Benfica. The rising star has just had a superb World Cup, helping win it with Argentina, and now he is the subject of transport intent. Chelsea looking like they are willing to dop over £100m on signing Enzo, really does show just how serious the club is now about rebuilding the midfield, something that is needed. N’Golo Kante and Jorginho are no closer to registering new deals as of now, and there has even been current talk that both will leave in the season as free  envoy and Jorginho might even leave in January, conforming to one report.
