Casemiro's wife hits back at critics of the Man United star with defiant Instagram post after her husband was hauled off at half-time following nightmare display in 3-0 defeat by Liverpool

Casemiro's wife has leapt to her husband's defence after the Manchester United midfielder was widely criticised for his performance in his side's 3-0 defeat by Liverpool on Sunday.

The Brazilian star was at fault for Liverpool's first two goals as he gave the ball away twice before Luis Diaz punished him on both occasions.

Sky Sports co-commentator Jamie Carragher admitted it was a 'sad sight' to see Casemiro struggling so badly, and he was hauled off at half-time by Erik ten Hag, with youngster Toby Collyer replacing him.
